The 鶹Ƶ Virtual Lab allows students and employees remote access from their personal machines to a full virtual desktop lab machine. A maximum of 35 users can be concurrently connected to all of the pools available in the virtual lab environment. Each pool is also limited by the number of physical resources available to it so if a single pool is full, please select another. This is a great place to access unique programs for classes and work, such as Adobe Creative Cloud and lab software. Watch the video:

Check out the Hoonuit Course:

Duo Two Factor Authentication users will be prompted by Duo when logging into the Virtual Lab.

If you would like to request additional software to be added to the virtual lab environment, please contact the

Printing

The virtual lab client will automatically add the default printer that is installed on your machine to the virtual lab machine. This will become the default printer for the virtual lab machine. Ensure you have a printer installed on your machine and set it as the default printer for it to show up on the virtual lab machine.

Visit the following page for instructions on how to add on-campus printers to your machine: Print locations/adding a printer

Printers can also be manually added your virtual lab computer.

  1. Double click the "Add 鶹Ƶ Printer" shortcut on the desktop of the virtual lab computer.
  2. In the Window that opens with the list of available printer, double click the printer you would like to install on the virtual lab computer.
