You must connect to Carleton’s Virtual Private Network (VPN) to access the VDI service

The cuDesktop service, also known as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), provides an alternative to physical computer labs, for courses which require students have access to course-specific software during course lectures. It allows students access to applications without needing them to be installed on their own laptop or tablet.

All Students Staff & Faculty have access the general VDI environment, currently we are providing the following applications with this service: SPSS, Sample Power, SAS, MatLab, StataSE and Office365.

If you encounter any issues downloading and installing the cuDesktop Software, please consult the documentation in the menu on the left, or email its.service.desk@carleton.ca for support.
