Microsoft Remote Desktop

Requirement:

 If you are not on campus you will be prompted to authenticate using DUO. Prior to using Remote Desktop you will need DUO authentication setup.

Prior to being able to connect to Remote Desktop while off campus or working remotely, you will need to be added to the "remote users group" and have DUO enabled first. Please contact Support Services at (561) 237-7979 if you have never used Remote Desktop off campus so we can get the process started for you.
