Remote Computer Lab
Information Technology provides remote computer lab workstations available 24/7 for remote access running Microsoft Windows 10 21H2. You can logon to a computer lab workstation from your home, residence hall room or anywhere on the campus wireless network. Our remote computer lab allows you access to software that is only available in computer labs.
If you intend to use an application that
requires video hardware acceleration like Adobe After Effects or Adobe Premiere expect performance to be degraded. We recommend using an on-site campus computer.
