Our campuses are currently closed until Monday 15 February 2021, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and in line with government and public health guidance. Staff are working from home to support students with their studies and we will continue to monitor the situation and keep our Edinburgh College community up to date with the latest information and guidance.
The College's main priority and guiding principle continues to be to ensure the health and safety of all of our staff and students.
Please read our
latest Staff FAQs for the most up to date information from the College.
Working from home
If you only need to access the following programmes as part of your role, you do not need to log in to the College's Remote Desktop Services (RDS) as these can all be accessed via a web browser.
Using this work-from-home option would support the College greatly by releasing pressure on its Remote Desktop Services.
Here are some further helpful user guides for accessing these programs:
