Remote Desktop
We are allowing remote access to 18 computers in one of the labs of the ACES Academic Computing Facility. This service allows users to access special class software and other ACF resources from home or dorm rooms from 5 p.m. to 4 a.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 4 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Remote desktop provides the ability to use all of the software available in the ACF without leaving home. You can even print your work to your home printer.
Remote Desktop Client Instructions
If you are not in a University buidling, you must use the CITES Virtual Private Networking (VPN). For instructions on how to do this, visit the CITES VPN website.
If you are in a University buidling, you do not need to use the CITES VPN.
