Accessing Campus Software using CIVL

by in , , , , , ,

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.

Click here to launch CIVL in your Web browser.


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.

Dear Campus Community:

In an effort to provide a more stable and robust virtual work and learning environment, Information Technology Services (ITS) will be making the following modifications to the CSUCI Virtual Labs (CIVL) at 11:00 p.m. on Friday, May 29, 2020:

  1. The virtual environment for the "Art Lab" will be shutdown. Art-related applications, such as the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite, will be accessible from the “Student Lab”.
  2. The "Student Lab" will be re-sized to better suit the needs of Students during the Summer session.
The "Staff VDI" will remain unmodified as we continue to work remotely.

If you have any issues or concerns, please feel free to contact the Shared Services Solution Center at 805-437-8552 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, or to submit an ITS Service Request.

Connecting to Campus Remotely - VPN or VDI

by Anonymous in , , , ,

In an effort to be able to support our University’s remote work directive, Information Technology Services (ITS) has rolled out a new alternative solution to its VPN remote access service called Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). 


 VDI is a web-browser-based solution that allows access to network file-shares, such as the G:\ ,  S:\ or Z:\ drives, as well as to most applications and services used by faculty and staff. 

ITS is requesting that individuals who only require access to their network file-shares and Microsoft O365 Office products such as Office, Teams, OneNote etc., use the new VDI service instead of VPN.

Click here to start the new VDI web-based service and to get answers to questions you may have about VDI.

Please note that use of this VDI solution requires no action by ITS; VDI is an entirely self-service process that may be initiated by any faculty or staff member on their computer.

ITS continues to recommend that university work be conducted on university-owned and university-issued devices that were previously defined for remote work.

We encourage you to share this information with your co-workers, and we thank you for your support and patience during this unprecedented time of need.
