There are several ways to access the software you need to complete your coursework. Temporarily we have implemented remote login to the machines in the computer labs on campus. Our Virtual Lab allows access to applications using our virtual desktop infrastructure (Citrix). Our Linux machines have always been remotely accessible. Additionally, some software is available to be downloaded to personal computers and used off campus.

Remote Access to Computer Labs

During the time that campus computer labs are closed, we have been able to set up a remote desktop gateway for students to access the software they need to complete their projects and other classwork.
We do not plan to continue this service after resumption of regular campus access to students.
Remote Desktop Notes and Etiquette:
The lab machines are mostly identical. Over the course of the semester,
there are changes to some software packages. If you can’t find the
software you need, please report the software (and version)
that you need and the name of the machine. The machine name
should be the name of the tab in your web browser.
You can access the remote desktop portal from the following URL:

VPN

Connecting a Virtual Private Network (VPN) from your off-campus computer is required to access man campus services and software licenses.
The surge in demand for VPN connections caused performance problems in the first days of working from home.
Instructions and links for configuring the VPN may be found at the beginning of the VDI instruction page: Anymp4 iphone data recovery 9 0 22.

VDI – Virtual Lab

Our virtual lab is a portal that uses the Citrix receiver on your device (Windows, Mac, Linux, Tablet). You have access to many of the most common applications required for your classwork. Using the Virtual Lab, you can run a complete Windows desktop (less efficient) or only the specific application that you need for your work. Each of these allows you to access files in your Engineering home directory (H: drive) or general campus home directory (I: drive).
Successful VPN connection is required for access to the Virtual Lab.
