Virtual computer rooms
For distance studies, we offer the service Virtual computer rooms. This means that you can connect from your private computer to one of the Windows computers in the computer rooms J117, I102 or H209 and use the software available in the computer room. If all the computers in these computer rooms are occupied, we also offer access to Windows computers in our Virtual computer room. Read more about how to connect below.
Follow these steps to connect to a computer in a J117, I102 or H209 on campus:
- Read the instructions below
- Go to the Virtual computer rooms >>
- Log in with your username (ex buba0001) and your usual password.
- A list of the computer rooms available remotely is displayed. Click on the computer room you want to use.
- If there is an unoccopied computer in the computer room you will be connected to one. If all computers in the computer room are occupied, you can try with another computer room.
- When you connect, you may receive a resolution warning on the screen and you must approve it. Please note that you cannot change the resolution.
The files you create on the remote computer can be saved to your home directory (H:) as usual. Then if you want to download the files to your own computer, you can do so via the system My Files. Read about My Files here!
