There are two (2) ways you can access the AURA IRB system from outside of the University. Whenever possible, the technical team recommends that you attempt to install the VPN given the instructions below:

1.Use this link to install the VPN program à https://cvpn.uchicago.edu
2.After the install is complete, you may access AURA IRB just as if you were on campus by using VPN application and clicking AURA IRB login from the AURA main page à http://aura.uchicago.edu
(II) If you are unable to install the VPN instructions (above)
1.If you are on a computer that will not allow you to install the program needed for the secure connection, such as a library computer, or if you are unable to successfully install the VPN, there is an alternative link that you can use that will not require any installation.
2.You can access this link via the AURA IRB Login (Off-Campus) option on the left hand of the AURA main page àt http://aura.uchicago.edu.
