Working remotely introduces additional security concerns. You are responsible for the security of your personal device and internet connection. For more information on securing yourself at home, see our guidelines for being secure at home.
If you complete most of your work through email, Blackboard, Banner Selfservice, and P: drive files, you can remotely work from a personal computer or laptop. Please follow our guidelines for being secure at home. You can move critical files to OneDrive, and then access them from home using your personal computer or laptop by signing in to office365.stlcc.edu.
