How to connect to your office computer from outside of the Concordia network
By combining the Virtual Private Network (VPN) and Remote Desktop, Concordia staff and faculty can access a work computer from an off-campus device.
Step 1: Get your computer name
From your campus computer, determine the full name of your office computer.
Step 2. Get the VPN
- To download the VPN FortiClient software, visit the Software and Applications section of the MyConcordia portal. Once the software has been installed, enter your Concordia netname and password to establish a connection.
- Please note: the Forticlient app may already be on your desktop. If you see the Forticlient icon on your work desktop, please continue to Step 3.
- If you are attempting to install the FortiClient software on a Concordia-owned computer that requires admin access, contact the Service Desk.
- Need help? Email the Service Desk or see the support page.
