Three Easy Steps
Preparing to work remotely as faculty/staff
Step 1: As soon as you find out
- Get the equipment from your department (laptop, headset, webcam, cables, etc)
- Get the software needed
- Call UIT if you need assistance
Step 2: Before you leave campus
- Gather and test all equipment
- Ensure DUO MFA devices are set up
- Get access to shared files (we recommend transferring files to One Drive)
- If you use Perceptive Content or shared drives, install Cisco AnyConnect VPN. You will not need VPN for other applications (Blackboard, Zoom, Office 365, PeopleSoft, etc)
Step 3: At your remote location (home, hotel, etc.) you will need
- Fast and reliable internet
- Mobile device, home phone, etc to authenticate with Duo MFA

Don't forget to sanitize your electronic devices
- Disinfect touchscreen devices like phones and tablets by spraying a soft microfiber cloth with disinfectant and rubbing the surface in a light circular motion
- Never apply cleaning solution to non touch devices like computer monitors, TVs, etc. These devices can be wiped with a clean, dry cloth
- Never spray anything directly onto the device itself
