Student Software Access

To better allow for teaching in times of disruption, the Event and Classroom Management (ECM) Public Computing Team has outlined ways to access the software you have access to on our computers in labs and classrooms. Below is information about remotely accessing the computers on campus and information about software that you can install on your own computer.

Additionally, here is information on Learning During Times of Distuption.

Remote Access to Lab Computers

ECM offers a very limited remote pool of machines to provide remote access to lab machines via desktop.rochester.edu. Due to classrooms being at 100% in-person capacity, our offering is very limited. This platform is currently reserved for individuals who cannot physically visit our facilities in-person and require access to supported software for course related work. Requests are being evaluated on a case by case basis and can be requested by submitting a service request.

Find more information about Tutorials to the End User Compute System.

Software for Personally Owned Machines

Some software requires licensing info that you will see "See Blackboard for...". To access this information in Blackboard, visit https://learn.rochester.edu and log in with your netID. The information is available under the Services tab, then the Software sub-tab.
