Faculty traveling abroad may experience access issues with Excelsior systems. Using a VPN may restrict Salesforce access, while connecting without a VPN may prevent access to Excelsior email. A mobile phone hotspot has been identified as a potential workaround, but costs, device compatibility, and connectivity limitations should be considered.
Before traveling internationally, faculty should contact ITS to confirm an approved, reliable access plan, as a practical solution for accessing all required systems has not yet been established.
