Re: VPN service -- Quick Poll (documenting the procedures)

All members of our community are allowed to get a VPN account, which they must request.  Accounts are deleted as part 
of deprovisioning process along with all other accounts when an individual departs the College.

For all of you that have said yes, would you mind sharing your procedure on authorizing VPN access, account 
modification and deletions as well as training and user agreement requirements for accessing confidential data?
We are codifying these items to ensure all of our remote access VPN or other as appropriate controls, user training and 
user acknowledgment.
