Off-Campus Students

If you live off-campus or need access from an off-campus location:

• You will need to establish an account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) in order to connect to the Internet.  Once this has been established, off-campus users can gain access to most network services.

• Some network resources requires a VPN (Virtual Private Network) connect for remote access.  See the Knowledge Base article, Setup COBY VPN connection for Windows XP/2000 for assistance. 

Reading e-mail from home:  All users with authorized SUNY Cobleskill accounts may check their e-mail without being on campus.
