Work Remotely

Here are some resources we've compiled to help staff continue work from off campus. We'll keep updating this page & we value your input. If you don't see what you need, or have something to add, let us know.

If you're a student or faculty, refer instead to our Teach & Learn Remotely page.

App Status

If an application, software, or resource doesn't seem to be working correctly, this page will tell you whether we're aware of the issue.

Clear Cache

If any apps or web pages aren't loading or working properly, try this. It's often our first tip, & frequently fixes such issues.

Contact Us

For computers, webcams, headsets, internet connection, or any other resources (that you don't already have) that you'll need to work from home.

Email

Use only your YCP email for work communications; this will avoid confusion & error.
It may help you to setup your YCP email on a phone or mobile device.

Google Apps

Collaborate with coworkers in real-time on Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Sites, & more.

Library Research Assistance

Details on Library Resources from off-campus.

Microsoft Office 365 (Free)

Get Word, Excel, PowerPoint, &c. from home.

Network Drives

Map your drives from off campus (must have VPN access).
Or, get to your H: Drive through MyFiles.
If you work in a shared area that isn't available off campus, contact us to make it available through MyFiles.

On Campus Equipment Troubleshooting

The required procedure if we request that you visit campus.

Phishing

Avoid being compromised in more frequent & insidious email scams.

Phones

Retrieve your voicemail from off campus.

Save as PDF (& Print at Home)

Anything that you can print, you can save as a PDF instead. So, all handouts can be done digitally.
This also allows you to print at home, from VPN or Remote Desktop.

Security

Take proper security measures on your home computer before connecting to YCP resources.

Be sure to install all of the updates for your operating system.

We recommend using Windows Defender, which is a default on all Windows 10 computers. If you have a PC without Defender, nor any other default protection, then we suggest choosing a software with up-to-date definitions & routinely scheduled virus scans.

Make sure your YCP network account remains secure. Keep your password up to date.

Offer synchronous lectures/meetings, with recordings.
Videoconference with colleagues when face-to-face conversations are not feasible.
Connect remotely with one or more people with audio, video, and collaboration tools.
