Tips and Precautions

* For security reasons, you will be asked for your University Office 365 password each time you start an app session. Do not tick the 'Remember Me' option as it is not enabled.

* If you are starting a new session (using an AVD app for the first time since logging off), it may take several seconds for the app to load and appear to be unresponsive. Please do not try to relaunch the app, as this will extend the delay.
