A Virtual Desktop is exactly what it sounds like - a Seattle University computer workstation that can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection and web browser. When you log into a computer lab workstation on campus, you're using the Virtual Desktop. Through the Virtual Desktop you have access to the following:
- Software
The Virtual Desktop gives you access to any of the computer lab software. For a list of Virtual Desktop software, please reference the VDI Software List below.
- P: and T: Drives
Just like a computer lab workstation, you'll have access to your P: and T: Drive files.
- Printing
The Virtual Desktop allows you to send documents to the SU print queue.
Accessing the Virtual Desktop
Seattle University students, faculty and staff can access the Virtual Desktop via the following ways:
