Are you traveling Internationally over spring break or summer vacation?
In order to best protect all PLCS accounts (staff and students), access to accounts from outside the United States, Canada, and Mexico is disabled by default. Doing so helps to cut down on and prevent account compromises and keeps district systems and data secure. If you plan to travel internationally (outside of Canada and Mexico) and would like to access your PLCS account while abroad, please submit a helpdesk request to the technology team for assistance. You must arrange for your account to have the international settings adjusted before departing for your travel.
Duo multifactor enrollment is required for international account access. The technology team will adjust your account to allow international access with login approval via the Duo multifactor platform. If you are traveling and will not have cellular service, Duo authentication can work without cellular service or a WiFi connection or a keychain fob can be utilized. However, you do need to take your cellular device or keychain fob with you while traveling.
Please feel free to share this information with students. You can start the process by emailing helpdesk@plcschools.org for assistance with preparing your account for travel. Requests must be submitted from your district account.
Don’t want to check email or have access to your PLCS information while abroad? No problem! No action is necessary and you can pick right back up where you left off upon your return.
