Some questions to consider while working remotely:

  • Do I really need to print? If so, how much, and how long could I go without printing? Do I need to print in color or B&W?

  • Do I need to scan? If so, how much? Can I scan to a mobile app using my cell phone?

  • How reliable is my home internet? If not very reliable, is there another location nearby I could utilize for work?

  • Do I need a second monitor? Do I have a Monitor or TV at home I could use?

  • Will Voicemail appear in my email? Have I forwarded my phone?

  • What other Clemson sites do I access on a regular basis? Are they accessible remotely?

  • How would I contact a student or colleague from home? Would I use my cell phone or do I need another way to contact them?

  • What guidelines do I need to follow for FERPA/HIPPA or other regulatory agencies that may be impacted by being away from the main workplace?

  • Can I continue to work on my research away from the office?
