What do I need to work remotely?

1. A computer
2. Internet serviceaccess
   1. If you have a laptop, it will work with your wireless connection. Depending on the laptop and your router, you may also be able to plug directly into the router (for a more stable connection).
   2. If you have a desktop computer, you will need to determine whether you can use a network (AKA ethernet) cable or will require a wireless adapter. 
3. Power
   1. Please be sure to safeguard your home and your Drew equipment with a surge protector.
   Power
4. Your Drew login credentials (username and password)
   1. If you have separate credentials for additional services (ex, PyraMED), be sure you know these as well.
   2. Everyone enrolled in Duo also needs their Duo approval method (For most people, this is their personal cell phone or a University-provided token.)
5. If you will be asked to participate in video calls, you may will need a video camera (webcam) and/or microphone that work with your computer (or a level of comfort using your cell phone with the chosen platform). Laptops usually have this equipment built in.

This list focuses on the technology needs. OWL Labs includes a monitor, headset, keyboard, mouse, desk, chair, lighting and a surge protector in their equipment list. Many articles have been published with recommendations for setting up an office space at home - away from your bedroom is one common suggestion - so that you can work efficiently and comfortably. Here is one home office setup list from OWL Labs.
