Can I work offline?

Modified on Fri, 17 Oct at 11:11 AM

To protect the REF systems and data you can only access the REF Hub and applications when you're working online.


However, if you want to read any documents when you're offline (when you're working on a train, for example) you can do the following: 

  • Log on to the REF Hub whilst you're online
  • Open the document(s) you want to read
  • Keep those windows open and you'll still be able to read them when you are offline


If you need to be able to print and download documents as part of a reasonable adjustment for accessibility reasons under the Equality Act 2010, please get in touch with admin@ref.ac.uk.
