Off-campus access

Most services such as email, OneDrive and Office 365 can be accessed from anywhere with a good internet connection.  

There may be instances where you would like to use a campus PC when you are off site.

The Virtual Desktop service has the same look and feel as a managed University PC, you can access your file store and commonly used software exactly as you would if you were on campus.
 
Once you have accessed the information required remember to logout to end your session.

When connected to remote services you are bound by the University's IT Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) (PDF)
