Question
How do I install the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client on a Windows computer?
Resolution
The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client is used to establish a connection between the computer you are using and the campus network. This is only required when trying to use services such as Email, Network Drives, or Remote Desktop when off campus. For more information, please visit our article on What is VPN and why should I use it? The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client should already be installed on all Seattle University laptops. If you are already familiar with VPN and would like to install it on a personal computer, please proceed to the next step.
