'''==Cloud Resources'''==
Many of MCLA’s IT resources are publicly available on the Internet and are hosted by the service directly. We consolidate most of these tools into the campus Portal found at: https://portal.mcla.edu
Some of the services you will find there are: Office 365 (email, calendars, OneDrive etc..), Canvas, Banner, Dynamic Forms, TimesheetX, Handshake, SchoolDude.
==VPN (Remote Access to Banner)==
''' MCLA’s VPN'''(virtual private network) is software that “tunnels” your computer’s network traffic securely over the Internet, connecting you directly to the campus. This enables administrative users to access certain resources that are normally only available while connected on campus. One common resource that users need VPN access for while off-campus is Banner (Admin). To learn more about how to configure the required VPN client on your MCLA laptop, please refer to these instructions [[MCLA_Remote_Access_(Windows)|Read more]]
MCLA’s VPN (virtual private network) is software that “tunnels” ==Access to Telephone==MCLA uses Microsoft Teams as its phone system which offers the flexibility of answering and making calls through your computer’s network traffic securely over the Internet, connecting you directly laptop or cell phone from anywhere - no need to the campussetup forwarding anymore. This is another way to connect to the local resources available on the campusideal when working remotely.
