On-Campus re-connection
Your Network Drives should already be mapped when you are on campus. If they aren't, you can use the Drive Mapper tool to reconnect them.
The Drive Mapper has a star icon, and should be on your desktop.
If you don't have the Drive Mapper on the desktop, you can find instructions on how to re-download it in our resource.

- This will open a popup window.
- Click the button to Open.
- You will see your drives mapped under the This PC area of your file explorer.
Off-Campus connection
- If you are off-campus, you must make sure the Cisco VPN Client has been downloaded and is running.
