Using other remote connection options

If your work requires access to some specialized software such as Blackbaud applications or our Student Information System, you will need to have remote access enabled so you can connect to those applications from your own personal computer. This can be initiated by supervisors making a request to IT Services at helpdesk@concordia.ab.ca

Once access is granted, you will be provided with further instructions from IT Services to connect to our campus servers including a step-by-step guide.  If you've already been set up with access and need assistance connecting from your home computer, please contact the IT Services Helpdesk at helpdesk@concordia.ab.ca or 780 479 9316.
