  • Bookmarks - Please consider saving your bookmarks from your browser (Chrome, Firefox, IE, Edge, Safari) so that you'll have them available when working from a home computer.  How to save bookmarks
  • Contacts/Outlook Autocomplete - If you rely upon Outlook Autocomplete to populate email addresses to non-University recipients, consider saving critical contacts to your Outlook Contacts.  Alternatively, you can often search your "sent" items folder to find contacts you've corresponded with in the past.
  • Stored Passwords - Do you often save passwords in your browser? If you plan to work from a home computer, these passwords may not be available to you on another device.  Consider using a password keeper or another secure method to help you remember passwords.
  • Data Security - Please refrain from emailing files with confidential data when collaborating remotely with colleagues.  Use shared Dropbox folders to keep data secure.
  • Mailbox limits - Working remotely could lead to an increase in email usage. If your mailbox is close to the limit, it's likely a good time to do some email archiving.  How to cleanup your mailbox
  • My.Fairfield – The University portal, my.fairfield.edu is a good starting point for links to many University resources. If you can’t find a URL or can’t remember how to access a system, search my.fairfield.edu  first.
