PC Lab Virtualisation (Citrix)

Service
Description

The strategic goal of Citrix Desktop Virtualisation (click for a quick overview) is to provide convenient, anywhere, anytime access to commonly used software on almost any device to NWU staff and students.

Citrix allows you to connect to a Virtual Desktop from almost any recent device with internet access.

Staff and Students have access to an "All-purpose Lab Desktop" with mostly the same software as can be found in the physical PC labs. Staff with special access or software requests can log a Support ticket with IT.
