Overview
Clearpass OnGuard is a University provided software that ensures your computer can join the UR network by verifying security settings such as the current firewall, OS update, and antivirus status. It is required to be installed on all macOS and Windows PCs that connect to 'urwin'.
Once installed, ClearPass must check in with a Healthy status in order to complete connection to the network. In addition to ClearPass, Crowdstrike Falcon (students) or one of our preferred free antivirus options (Faculty and Staff personal computers) needs to be installed on your computer.
