Logging in to the campus network using VPN

When you log in to your desktop computer at work, you’re also logging in to the campus network. You can log-in to the campus network from home, too using something called, Virtual Private Network, or “VPN.”

How to set up and use VPN

Accessing your computer remotely

Here’s a situation you may have experienced before. You’re at home and you have documents saved on your computer at work you need to access.  If you’re sick with the flu and can’t come to work, there is a way to “connect” to your computer. It’s called Remote Desktop Connection. Classified staff and administrators please note: supervisor approval is required for Remote Desktop Connection.

How to use Remote Desktop Connection

Accessing the HP remotely

If the work that you do requires you connect to the HP, when you’re working at home due to illness or campus closures, if you’ve already been granted permissions to connecting to the HP, you should be able to use Remote Desktop Connection to access your computer, then connect the HP following procedures you’re already accustomed to.
If you do not currently connect to the HP through your desktop, and you’ve been asked to cover for someone who does require this access, you’ll need to get permission by any Dean or Vice President to approve this.

If you have another need that is not mentioned here, contact Lori Tiede in the Web Services office for assistance. In the event that Web Services staff are sick during this time, limited support may be available. Other on-demand training materials for SharePoint (MyBC) are available at https://go.mybcc.net/training/.

Important:
When using MyBC sites, some features and tools may present accessibility issues. You’ll need to consider how to make the information accessible for everyone—especially if one of your employees or students has requested accommodation through the Disability Resource Center.
