Students, faculty and staff can connect to UNF's computing services remotely.
Faculty and staff needing to taking home equipment from the office like monitors, desktop printers, etc. should first check with their supervisor then complete a property checkout form in myWings. Assets being checked out by staff should only be used for University Business. Be sure to include the UNF property number and the org number for your department when checking out an item. Verify the correct org for your department's equipment by emailing Jim Mousa in the property office.
If an item does not have a UNF property tag complete a separate form. Leave the property number column blank and include a description. If possible print a copy for your records and delete the form when the undecaled equipment is returned.
Students who do not have a device to access online instruction should contact the Library Information Desk for assistance on checking out equipment if needed.

Establish a secure internet connection to access University network resources
UNF uses a VPN application called FortiClient that is easy to install and set up. A VPN is a method of connecting to a private network (UNF's network) by way of a public network (the Internet) securely. A VPN connection is not needed to read email.
Instructions for setting up a VPN Connection (Virtual Private Network)
Accessing University network drives
UNF employees can access network drives remotely. Make sure you are signed in to the Forticlient VPN before following the instructions. If you choose to have these drives map on startup, they will show as disconnected until Forticlient is connected. Once Forticlient is connected, accessing the drive should prompt for credentials and then allow you access.
