Remote Desktop

Before leaving campus

Before leaving campus, you will need to identify the name of your work PC computer or any other PC computer you intend to access remotely.

Getting remote access software

Remote Desktop is included in Windows automatically except for Windows 10 Home edition.

Remote Desktop for Mac is free. Just install Remote Desktop for Mac for free. You can also install Remote Desktop for iPad or install Remote Desktop for Android, but it is less convenient to use since you do not have a mouse with left and right buttons.

Making the connection

In order to connect to a computer on campus, you have to connect to the VPN. Use the name of the computer you identified before leaving campus.
