To provide increased security, the North Dakota University System has implemented Duo two-factor authentication when accessing sensitive information in PeopleSoft HRMS Employee Self-Service and all areas of PeopleSoft Finance from on and off campus locations as of April 4th, 2017.

Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security to your online accounts by requiring a second factor (phone or other mobile device). This prevents someone from accessing your account, even if they have your username or password.

UND will soon offer a more secure wireless experience by implementing the  UND Secure wireless network. This secure wireless connection will include complete encryption between endpoints. The current UND wireless network relies on application encryption. 

Select UND Secure from the available wireless networks to connect.  You may also wish to Remove or Forget for the UND network to avoid switching back to the non-secure UND wireless. Contact UND Tech Support with questions or for assistance. 

SafeConnect Network Access Control 

SafeConnect is the University's network access control technology, which is used to provide wireless network services that comply with UND Network Access Control and Authentication Policy. 

• SafeConnect allows compliance with this policy by requiring users to authenticate with a username and password before allowing network access. Once authenticated, the system records the associated network address and how long it was used. That combination of data allows the campus to associate questionable network behavior with a specific user account and the person to whom that account was issued.
• If you are having trouble with SafeConnect, you may need to force log out.  Please click the button below to log out of SafeConnect and then attempt to authenticate.
