Virtual Sites

Virtual Sites is a tool that allows students,  faculty, and staff remote access to the Campus Computing Sites catalog of Windows software virtually from any device. This provides on-the-go access to a broad range of licensed Windows software. 

Virtual Sites can be accessed from any stable internet connection, remotely connecting you to a Windows environment with access to most of the software titles provided on physical Campus Computing Sites Windows workstations. You can choose to run individual software applications in a web browser, or you can open a full Windows desktop and access applications from the Windows Start menu.
