Off-Campus Access (web VPN)

You can access eIRB+ off-campus using Northwestern’s web VPN.

Important: To keep your account secure, the University requires you to use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

Step One: Set up MFA

If you have not set up Northwestern's MFA, you will need to do this first. Most users find using their smartphone for authenticating to be the easiest option.

Review the IT Knowledge Base page for instructions to register your device(s) to use MFA.
Need help? Email consultant@northwestern.edu and ask for assistance setting up Multi-factor Authentication (MFA).

Step Two: Log in through the web VPN

Once MFA is set up:

Go to the Northwestern web VPN, and log in.
Select the "eIRB Plus" tile.
Login to eIRB+ using your NetID and password.
