Safeguarding UMass Boston’s critical infrastructure and assets is the responsibility of all faculty, staff, and students.  Sometimes our faculty, staff and students need Internet access through UMass Boston ports that are blocked for security reasons. If you are seeking such access for academic or business purposes, you can use the form by going to the Internet Access Request Form page to request an exception to the university’s security policies. Your request will be carefully reviewed and evaluated by the Information Security Office before a decision is made to grant or not to grant the exception.

The formal request can be completed at Internet Access Request Form (http://apps.umassboston.net/it/form/security_exception_request​)

If you have any questions please email the Office of Information Security at InfoSecTeam@umb.edu
