Off Campus Access

Connecting from Off-campus

Off-campus access is available to all DACC students, faculty and staff for a wide variety of electronic resources.  Users may call one of our circulation desks for passwords for individual databases, connect to articles and e-books with federated search via the Roadrunner Portal, or download the VPN utility to their personal computer.

Passwords

Please contact our circulation desks at 575-527-7555 or 575-528-7260 regarding passwords that are available for many of our databases and e-book collections.

Roadrunner Portal

Click the roadrunner icon to enter the Roadrunner Portal to search databases, our catalog and web search engines all at the same time.

Enter your last name and Banner ID number and click Log-in.  You may also use a generic login of “new” for the last name and “mexico” for the password.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

Downloading this utility allows remote users to access campus resources that are normally restricted from off-campus access.  It does so by first requiring the user to logon and authenticate as a member of the College community, and then it flags the user’s network traffic so that campus resources think the traffic originated from the DACC Campus.
