Quick Steps for PC Windows users to access a computer remotely:
- Choose one of the college campuses listed below, under Find Computer Labs by College.
- Choose the specific computer lab you want to remote into (they are listed by building, room number and nickname).
- Click Connect for the specific computer to use. Computers that are available for use will appear on this list (computers already in use will not appear on this list).
- A prompt to download a file will allow a connection to the specific computer. Choose to run the file, following the prompts and accepting each dialog box. Login using your MySeattleColleges Login (e.g. first.last@seattlecolleges.edu).
- Once the connection process is complete (this can take up to 2 minutes to establish a secure and safe connection between your home computer and the lab computer), you will see the same desktop screen and access the same software you would see if using the computer in person in the lab you chose. Mac users should click the "Windows" menu from the "Microsoft Remote Desktop Client" and select "Fit to Window" to see the entire screen of the remote computer.
