Due to new security requirements, access to Lanier Tech and state-owned services/resources is prohibited from outside of the United States. As a student, in order to access LTC services/resources, you must purchase a personal VPN subscription for use while traveling outside of the US. Using a personal VPN is not allowed for LTC employees. If an employee uses a personal VPN it will result in disciplinary action. Services/resources affected by this security requirement include but are not limited to LTC Email, Blackboard, and Bannerweb.
