How to Connect

Please save your work continuously in Dropbox.

In case of disconnection, you can still access your assigned iMac if you are within the session’s time limit. You will need the computer address to re-connect. Follow the instructions below using the computer address.

Your session has a four hour time limit.

Do not shut down the computer. To end your session, click the Apple icon on the upper-left corner of the screen, and log yourself out.

If you do not save your data before your time is up, your session will automatically end and you will lose any unsaved work.
