CWU Virtual Labs:

Central provides access to a virtual lab environment for all enrolled students.  If you are enrolled, your CWU account will grant access from anywhere you have internet access to a workspace where you’ll find both individual applications and a Windows Lab Desktop.  Some of your courses may require specific software that is only available with a CWU license, we provide student access to that software via the Windows Virtual Desktop. 

Instructions regarding the Virtual Labs may be found at this link: https://cwu.teamdynamix.com/TDClient/2015/Portal/KB/?CategoryID=17866 

Access to the Virtual Labs via the web client: https://wvd.cwu.edu—includes licensed software.  In addition, it also provides access to the General Lab desktop and applications.  Please note: Access to department-specific programs that need a higher graphics processor may be accessible via department request.
