Accessing Campus Software using CIVL

In an effort to support remote work and learning, Information Technology Services (ITS) continues to offer access to the CI Virtual Lab (CIVL) to staff, faculty, and students.
Also referred to as a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), CIVL offers staff and faculty access to network file-shares (such as the G, S, or Z drives) and most applications and services used by faculty and staff without the need to connect through the GlobalProtect VPN.
Students may also use the CIVL to easily access applications for academic use, such as SPSS, Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Cloud, and more.
Please note that accessing CIVL requires no additional action by ITS. CIVL is an entirely self-service process that may be initiated by staff, faculty, or students.
ITS continues to recommend that university work be conducted on university-owned and university-issued devices that were previously defined for remote work. Students using CIVL for academic work may utilize their personally owned devices.
If assistance is needed with accessing CIVL, please submit an ITS Service Request, or contact the Solution Center at 805-437-8552.
