General Information
Before you begin: You cannot access the Remote Desktop without first setting up Multi-Factor Authentication. Please click *HERE* if you have not already set up your MFA.
Think of it as remotely logging on to a secure PC that’s located on campus—it has access to campus network resources that your home computer/laptop doesn’t (shared drives, Banner9/INB, BDM, Argos)
It’s not logging on to your office computer directly. You won’t have access to files/folders located only on your office computer. (Files/folders should be uploaded to OneDrive for cloud accessibility).
