Staff can access Remote Applications through the CHS RemoteApps website. It is recommended that you have a high-speed, wired Internet connection. Remote Applications can be accessed via a web browser from on-campus or off-campus computers. VPN is not required for off-campus access. You must be enrolled into CHS-DUO (dual authentication) in order for you to use the Remote Applications.
