Virtual Private Network (VPN)

Most of our subscribed electronic and online resources (e-journals, e-books and videos) can only be accessed while within the USIU-Africa network.

For off-campus (remote or away from USIU-Africa) access to these resources, faculty, students and staff need to configure their electronic devices  using the Virtual Private Network (VPN) applications. Using the links below, download and install the application in your device. Then use the step by step 'Guide'  or  'Connecting Manual' to log in.

Below are links to the application and guides to help you log in.
1. Devices using Windows Application:
