There are a few things you'll need to review and do before you are fully connected to the campus network, but don't worry, you'll be set up in a few steps.
What is MFA?
DUO MFA adds a layer of security to help protect the school’s network and data as well as individual identities and personal information.

Encryption is a required data safeguard for school-issued devices.
Ensure compliance in three steps:
1. See if your device is already encrypted.
2. If necessary, encrypt your device using Bitlocker or FileVault.
- You may also visit IT Connect to have experts encrypt your device.
- BitLocker and FileVault are recommended for personal computers and are built into most Windows and Mac operating systems. Note: Bitlocker is not available for Windows 10 Home Editions.
3. Install OnGuard to access the UCLAHealthSecure wireless network.
- OnGuard makes sure your device is properly encrypted and allows you to access the UCLAHealthSecure wireless network.
Access your email via the web by visiting the UCLA Health Outlook portal. Make sure to enter your full email address and password. If you are off-site, you will be required to verify your identity with Duo multi-factor authentication.

Can I access my email with my mobile device?
Due to security policies, your email and calendar will not download to your mobile device without the use of Intelligent Hub (AirWatch). Please check with your school's Student Affairs Office to find out if you have access to Intelligent Hub.
If you need to log in while off campus, please review our guide for connecting safely and securely.
You don’t need an appointment to get the in-person technology help you need. Walk right up to the IT Connect desk in the Center for Health Sciences building to talk to us about your personal computing needs.
