How to Connect to iROAR from Off-Campus

Logging into this site will open a window with a virtual computer already connected to the campus network. If you are uploading documents to iROAR, the VPN method below is recommended as you will not be able to access personal computer files within the virtual machine window.

1. Visit the CUapps website
2. For username, use only the first part of your email (Ex: johnx@clemson.edu, use johnx)
3. For password, use your Clemson password (Same password as iROAR/ Canvas for students, or Kronos/ HR Self-Service for employees).
4. Choose an authentication method and approve the request sent by Duo.
   • If you have the Duo app on your smartphone, click "Send me a Push" and select "Approve" on your phone.
   • Passcodes generated in the Duo Mobile App will NOT work.
   • If you are using a Duo Hardware Token (this applies to few users), enter the passcode generated by your Token.
5. If iROAR is on your favorites tab, click the Tiger Paw icon and the virtual machine will begin loading. If you do not see iROAR on your favorites tab, go to the "Apps" tab and scroll down to find iROAR.
6. If this is your first time logging in, it may take a few minutes to load. You will see "Connecting then "Starting Google Chrome" before you are greeted with the iROAR login page.
7. Use the same credentials as above to login to iROAR.
