Remote Desktop (RDP)

Connect and sign into a specific campus computer, then do anything that you can as a YCP member on campus, such as access a file, network drive, local printer, or software.  Employees trying to remote into their office machine will need to request VPN permissions.

Tip: For a simpler, more available way to remotely access campus applications, try RemoteApp instead.

Note: To find which computers have a particular application, see the Find campus software section of our Software & applications article.

Access a YCP computer

If you're accessing a computer that multiple people use, please either use this during your normal class period or check the room's availability before remoting in. If someone is already signed into a computer, please choose another instead; do not sign them out.

By default, your work will save to your H: Drive (unless you choose another location) which can then be accessed through MyFiles. We recommend saving to your Google Drive instead.

Note: Multi-factor Authentication Required! When signing into the computer, you will be prompted to approve the login request as part of the mandated MFA for all students and staff.

Caution: We restart all general use campus computers at about 4:00am each day. If you're using one around that hour, then you may lose any unsaved work.
