Connecting to W:/CLASS Network Drive

What is the W:/CLASS Network Drive?

The W:/CLASS network folder is the location Geography courses use to store digital data needed for students.

You will have an automatic connection to this folder when logged into a computer in SHD 132 or 134.

You can also connect to this network folder from our own laptop/computer while connected to the Miami WiFi network or if you are off-campus.

Click Finish
When asked to log in, type it\YourUniqueID (e.g., it\abbittrj)

How to Connect to the W:/CLASS Network Folder from Your Own Computer While Off-Campus

Install Cisco AnyConnect VPN

The Cisco AnyConnect VPN application is what will allow your computer to get beyond the Miami internet firewall. This program allows you to access the local networks and computers on campus when you are not physically on campus.

Note that if you are running your computer from a Miami WiFi or ethernet connection, the VPN client is not required.

This may already be installed on your computer – you can check by going to your list of installed Programs and looking for Cisco > Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. Test it by launching the application.
If this is not already on your computer, you need to follow the links below (one for Windows, one for macOS) to download and install the software. The first link is for download and the second link is for setup and use.
