Remote Access
Remote access may be beneficial for you if:
- You are using a College laptop, and need to connect while on wireless or off campus.
- You would benefit from accessing more College services and applications from personal devices, on and off campus.
- You need to access special applications, files or other services not already provided externally, while off campus.
- You need to access applications in Microsoft Windows while using an Apple computer.
