Remote Access Instructions for Students
All students are able to access their school desktops from home (or other locations). These instructions have been mostly copied and pasted (with some minor changes) from the Levittown School District website. The only real problem that I have found is that you MUST use Internet Explorer 6 or higher. Remote Access WILL NOT WORK with any other browser. Good luck!
Unfortunately, Mac and Apple users can not access the Remote Desktop. Only PC users will be able to use the system.
Please note - I am NOT a computer programmer - a version of these instructions is in a document folder on the website. If all else fails, please contact the Computer Department during school hours.

Troubleshooting Remote Access to Student Desktop

4. If there is STILL a problem, make sure that you are entering your domain, user name and password correctly. Everything is case sensitive. Make sure that the backslash ('\') is pointed in the correct direction!

| 5. If all else fails - use a flashdrive to bring your work back and forth to school. Don't spend a lot of money - the cheapest drive is fine. If you do not own a drive, I have a lending bank of flashdrives - see me to sign one out. |
| 6. Remember - NO EXCUSES! Do not wait for the last minute to try this out! |
