Remote Access to a College Computer Environment:

Some applications and software (Colleague, DocuWare, Informer, etc.) require that users be on campus to be able to successfully log in. The virtual lab environment is a remote connection that allows you to still be able to access these applications and software from anywhere off campus. There are two ways to connect to the virtual lab environment: either from a web browser or Mac computer. If you are accessing the virtual lab environment from a web browser, Chrome is the preferred browser as all of the applications and software in the virtual lab environment have been tested using Chrome. Please use the links below to learn how to connect to the virtual lab environment:
