Student

PCC Instructors must request Splashtop access for PCC students using the Splashtop Faculty Request Form for access in your classroom. Complete instructions for providing a student with access are included on the Splashtop spaces page, which is accessible by PCC Staff and Faculty.

Students can expect to receive a Splashtop invitation email once an IT staff member sets up access for a student.  A student can then use the Student Splashtop Setup and Splashtop: Student Usage Guide to help get acclimated to using Splashtop for accessing PCC workstations. In order to access this documentation, you will need to log-in to your PCC account after clicking the link.
