What Is BYOD?
Bring your own device (BYOD) is a business policy of employees bringing personally owned mobile devices to their place of work and using those devices to access privileged company resources such as email, file servers and databases as well as their personal applications and data.
UConn Health Approach
A new way to access UConn Health email is here. In order to maintain compliance with UConn Health’s Mobile Computing Device Policy, the IT Department has rolled out an institutional program requiring all personally owned smartphones and tablets that access our email system, to be registered to our mobile device management application called “MobileIron.”

What Should I Expect After Installing MobileIron?
- Your device will be required to have a password and a forced timeout of up to 15 minutes.
- You may be asked to accept “Certificates” – this is perfectly safe as they will be coming from a trusted UConn Health server.
- The response time for the initial email synchronization may vary. After the initial sync, email will flow promptly.
- You will now have access to the “BYOD Portal“. This will allow you to manage your connected devices in one place.
