Business School

You can access the Business School's online resources, such as websites and email, from home via Virtual Private Networking (VPN).

Business School, Law School and SIS staff have a VPN service available via BITS.

Students need to use the ITS VPN service, as do staff who wish to access UWA services outside the Business School network. Students register using their Pheme accounts while staff register using their username@biz username and their regular password. You do not need a cyllene account to register.
