• Windows 10: If you are using a GVSU owned Windows 10 machine, you can access your network data on or off campus without the VPN.
  • If you run into connection issues, verify that DirectAccess is "Connected" by clicking on the Wi-Fi icon in your system tray. If DirectAccess does not say "Connected" or is stuck in a "Connecting" state, restart your computer (make sure you click "restart", not "shut down").
• Mac OS: If you are using a GVSU owned Apple machine, connect to the VPN using Pulse Secure. Once connected you should see the network "DFS" drive appear on your desktop.
  • If you do not see the DFS drive, make sure the Enterprise Connect application is connected by clicking on the menu bar icon that looks like a key inside of a circle and selecting "Connect" or "Reconnect".
• Personal/Private Device: Connect to the VPN using Pulse Secure, then open a browser, navigate to https://mydata.gvsu.edu, and log in with your full GVSU email address and password.
