Workstation and Remote Access Setup


All faculty and staff are expected to take steps to work remotely. Please take immediate action to ensure you will have the capability to login and confirm data transmissions are secure.

  • If you have a University of Calgary-issued laptop, follow the necessary protocols to securely connect from home. 
  • If you do not have a University of Calgary-issued laptop, we request that you use your personal desktop or laptop. You will need your UCalgary IT Asset Tag prior to contacting IT for remote access assistance. This tag is found on your university-issued device. If you unable to come into the office, please ask a colleague to send you the asset tag number. 
  • Employees who require their desktop computing equipment at home are required to complete the IT Equipment Agreement. Senior Leadership Team members (Dean or AVP) will receive notification that the employee has removed equipment from the workspace. 
  • Once you have your asset tag number, please call the helpdesk to set up access from your home computer.

Ergonomics at Home

Regular movement throughout the day combined with a safe and comfortable workstation are essential in maintaining good health and preventing potential problems related to job demands.
