To enhance the student experience, IT Services has implemented Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), a more modern and efficient way to access course-specific software remotely from any location at any time.

With the new Azure Virtual Desktop Remote Lab, students can access their OneDrive, specialty software like SPSS and SAS, as well as other applications, and complete assignments much faster. AVD is much more streamlined and does not require a VPN connection or the use of Horizon Client, unlike the existing VMware Remote Lab.

While Remote Lab will still be available through Horizon Client, IT Services encourages the use of AVD for a faster and more user-friendly experience. To access AVD or for instructions on setting up Remote Lab, visit the IT Services website. Please note, documents may take longer to load on first use of AVD.
