Electronic W-2s can only be accessed while connected to the BGSU network. Off-campus users can access their W-2 by connecting to the BGSU VPN. This security measure was added in order to protect employees and their sensitive data.
Please Note: VPN access is required to download W-2s while off-campus. VPN access is only available to BGSU faculty and staff. Downloading W-2s via VPN requires a University-owned device.
If you are not using a University-owned device please follow the steps below to access your W-2.
- Open your browser.
- Navigate to the BGSU VPN.
- Sign in with your BGSU username and password and authenticate via Duo Two Factor Authentication.
- Locate the box next to the browse button and type my.bgsu.edu into the box.

- After selecting Browse you will be directed to the MyBGSU login page.
- Log in to MyBGSU with your BGSU username and password and authenticate via Duo Two Factor Authentication.
- You should now be able to access your W-2 within MyBGSU.
