What's new?
During the summer of 2025, the Student Virtual Computer lab has been migrated to Azure Virtual Desktop, which adds additional functionality and flexibility for users. The new platform allows DoTS to deliver single applications remotely to any device with a web browser.
Who has access to the Virtual Computer Lab?
Students enrolled in classes for the current academic term are provisioned access to the Virtual Computer Lab.
What are the advantages of the virtual lab?
Users of the virtual lab can run campus-licensed software anywhere with a high-speed Internet connection. Users may also be able to use more fully-featured versions of applications (Excel, for example) on devices that have much more limited versions (such as Chromebooks, iPads, Android devices).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I save files in the Virtual Lab?
When you click Save in an application, use your OneDrive folder to save documents and files, this will ensure they are available for you on other devices.
DO NOT save files to the desktop/documents folders, as these folders are subject to deletion at any time and may not persist between user sessions. Only save files to OneDrive.
