Remote Access to Labs & Software
Niagara College has been working on solutions to enable off campus access to software and computers that students will need as part of their studies. Please review the specific information below, and on the application support pages for setup information.
Apps Anywhere – is the preferred option for accessing software allowing students to download required software directly to their computer. Apps Anywhere is available for Windows 10 and 11 based computers and for those students with Macintosh, IOS or Android devices you will still be able to access College systems using Apps Anywhere however you will do so in conjunction with a secondary piece of software called Azure Virtual Desktop as described below.
Virtual Private Network (VPN) – is required to run certain applications available through Apps Anywhere. While this service is available to all students, it is not required for most. Please review the detail information under the access instructions to determine if it is required for the software you will be using.
