Off-Campus Access

VPN Changes

The LSUHSC Office of Computer Services provides secure remote access through a VPN (virtual private network) . Last summer, a new VPN client, SSLVPN was rolled out.

On July 29th, users who are still using the old VPN client, SecuRemote, will no longer have access to the Library’s catalog, Innopac. If you have SecuRemote (old client) installed, it must be uninstalled before installing SSLVPN (new client) (directions are available). Please contact your local computer supporter for more information.

Barcode & PIN (WAM) access will be unaffected.

New this semester? Handy info here!

Welcome to LSUHSC and thanks for reading our blog! Here’s some useful tips to get a good start to your studies.

GET YOUR LSUHSC ID & LIBRARY BARCODE
As you stop by the Registrars office (Library ?óÔé¼ÔÇØ 4th floor) for your official university ID, make sure to drop by our Circulation desk for a library bar code. You?óÔé¼Ôäóll need it to check out books & get off-campus access to our many online resources.

SET UP YOUR PAYPAW ACCOUNT
Once you have your ID & library barcode, drop by the LSUHSC bookstore on the 2nd floor of the Resource Center Building (433 Bolivar St) to set up your PayPaw account. You can use it in the cafeteria (for food) & the library (to print). You can also add money to it online.

QUESTIONS ABOUT LOGINS, PASSWORDS, EMAIL ACCOUNTS?
See our handout explaining campus logins.
Contact the LSUHSC help desk at 568-HELP for any questions you might have concerning access to WebCT, Blackboard, email, or other computer related services. You can also contact your school?óÔé¼Ôäós computer support directly.

WANT WIRELESS?
We have directions for that for XP, Vista and Intel Proset on our homepage.
