Duo: Preparing to be Off Campus

Being off-campus can mean the loss of cellular or wireless coverage. Here's how to make sure you can stay connected to your Carleton account.

Steps to Take Before Traveling

The backup codes are five codes that can each be used one time. Remember to select "Yes, this is my device" or "Remember me for 30 days" to prevent the use of all codes.

Using a Configured Phone/Tablet

  • If you have access to wifi or data, Push notifications will work as usual

  • Make sure you have added your international device to your Duo devices. If you are putting a new SIM card into your current phone, you may need to add your phone as if it were a new phone.

  • You can request a Duo Fob if you will consistently not have data or wifi access.

  • Enable "Yes, this is my device" or "Remember me for 30 Days" if given the option

  • If you are away from campus and cannot access push notifications or a fob, call the ITS Helpdesk at 507-222-5999. We will need to do a video call to verify your identity and following this we will provide you with bypass codes.

If You Don't Have a Configured Phone

  • If you have the option to bring a smartphone, configure it using our guide Duo Setup: Smartphone. And then follow the steps for "Planning to Bring a Configured Phone/Tablet" on this page

  • In the case step 1 isn't an option, you will need to obtain a Duo key fob

  • Enable Yes, this is my device" or "Remember me for 30 Days" if given the option
