Connect to a Virtual Campus PC

What is it?

If you can't find the app you're looking for in the CCCU App Store, you can connect to a Virtual Campus PC to access your key course software. You can use this tool from Macs, IOS, Android and Chromebooks, as well as regular PCs and laptops. It can be run through a web browser, but for best performance we recommend you download and install the client onto your computer.

Working remotely

You must remain connected to the internet whilst using the Virtual Campus PC service. If you are working on a laptop and you close the lid or the battery dies, your session will be closed due to inactivity, and you may lose work. You should close the program or log off the remote desktop session when you have finished using it. Virtual Campus PCs can also access University printers, so you can print to a printer on campus.

Saving your work

We recommend saving you files in OneDrive wherever possible. However, not all applications are able to save directly to OneDrive.

You can save files to the Desktop or Documents folder from your Virtual Campus PC. These files will be accessible the next time you access the service. Please be aware that you will not be able to access these files outside of the Virtual Campus PC.
