Accessing the Education Web Server
The University of Victoria provides limited webspace for students, faculty and staff with a NetlinkID account. For quick help on connecting to the central webserver or more information about this service, see the UVic Helpdesk website.
Update: The Faculty of Education's optional webspace for Faculty, instructors and special projects (including research projects, centres, student associations and special events) is being decommissioned. Websites will be transferred to the central UVic webserver or other location (of the website owner's choice.) For information about or help with migrating from the Education webserver, please contact us. For instructions on how to connect to the Education webserver, click on the tabs below.
Our staff are available to provide assistance and training for everything from simple "How do I..." questions to broader planning for special projects by students, instructors and researchers.
If you need more help or have questions, please contact us or check out our Technical support page.
In order to connect to the Education webserver from off campus, you first need to make with a secure “VPN connection”. For information on how to download, install and connect UVic's VPN software, go to the UVic Computer Helpdesk VPN site.
Once you’ve established a secure VPN connection, follow the instructions to map a network drive for Mac or Windows on the adjacent tabs.
