IT Services in Metropolia - A Quick Survival Guide for Students. 

An updated VPN remote access service will be available to all users with the help of Anyconnect client. The VPN portal used by staff members will be closed.

Internal services will be available by opening a VPN remote connection using Anyconnect client. In remote connection the same limitations apply to the use of services as when using the services on Metropolia campuses. Which services are available to a user in VPN connection depends on the user's role and terminal device. Instructions are available on the IT Services' web site, beginning on September 1, 2017.

Students will be notified in the beginning of September after the service runs reliably in staff use.

Remote desktops remain in staff use as an alternative access to internal services. Instructions on the IT Services web site.
