Accessing Specialized Software with the Virtual Computing Lab
A virtual computer lab (VCL) is accessible to active GW students, faculty, and staff. A VCL is a cloud-based service that allows users to run Windows-based software through a web browser. VCL allows users to access university-licensed applications 24-hours a day from home or any location with an active internet connection. It is not necessary to be on the GW campus nor on the VPN in order to access the virtual computer lab. Instructions for VCL access.
