Virtual Desktops guide will help you connect to the Omnissa Horizon Virtual Desktop used by the College of
Engineering and Computer Science (CoECS).

Students can securely access a Virtual Windows PC 24/7 from anywhere with an internet connection. These cloud desktops are preloaded with essential software used in your courses, such as MATLAB, SolidWorks, and Ansys, and include access to your shared drives. You’ll have reliable access to the tools you need—ready to go, anytime.

To simplify Virtual Desktops we have sectioned the guide into 5 sections.

These sections can be accessed from the navigation bar on the left, or the blue buttons provided below.

Each section walks you through exactly what you need to do, whether you're setting things up for
the first time or solving a problem.
