Remote Access Requirements

In order to participate in a remote access experience, you must have a high speed Internet access. It is recommended that you have onsite technical support because there is software that you need to download in order to conduct the remote access and you may need permission from your IT department in order to download this software. Additionally, remote access uses either a land line phone with speaker phone capability or Skype (can be accessed via a high speed Internet connection).

If you have any questions about the remote access requirements, or would like to set up remote access time, please fill out the Remote Access Form (click here).
