Remote Desktop Connection

A Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) allows approved VSU employees to access and control their on-campus office computers from off-campus for work-at-home purposes. Benefits of using a RDC include:

• Accessing any software, documents, or emails available on your office computer.
• Accessing applications that can only be run from on-campus, such as Banner Forms or WordPress.
• If available, printing to your networked office printer.

Supervisors: Request Remote Desktop Access
Supervisors can apply for up to three (3) employees per form. Upon approval by VSU Information Security, an IT technician will be dispatched to configure the employee's office computer for RDC. If denied, an email will be sent explaining why the request was not approved.
