Virtual Desktop

Get Started

You can access your virtual desktop a variety of ways, including: on-campus labs and off campus with Windows PC or Mac OS computers, iOS devices and Android devices.

Why Should You Use a Virtual Desktop?

• The virtual desktop allows students to access software needed for their courses and is reachable from anywhere in the world with a secure internet connection.
• Students can access software for their coursework on the first day of the class.
• Even without a powerful computer, students can run heavy compute and graphic intensive coding, engineering, and design applications on the virtual desktop environment.
• The Virtual Desktop environment uses OneDrive cloud storage, so the files created can be saved to the virtual desktop, which syncs to the student's OneDrive account.
• Assignments and documents created and saved to the virtual desktop can be shared with instructors via a direct link. No more need to try and compress large files or share USB drives between students and instructors.
• All files created and saved to the virtual desktop will be accessible to the student whenever and wherever they're logged in to their virtual desktop.
