Remote Lab — 24/7 Virtual Computer Lab


Remote Lab lets you remotely connect and use software in campus labs. The virtual lab contains over 200 computers and is available 24/7. The goal of the lab is to provide you with an experience that is close to what you would find if you were physically sitting in front of a computer in the lab.
