Remote Lab allows you to launch apps or virtual desktops from any device and any location. Remote Lab apps include MATLAB, Creative Cloud, Wolfram, SPSS for students and more. Remote Lab users can also run a virtual desktop that has all of the same software available in campus computer labs.
AVD Remote Lab (Preferred)
A more modern and efficient way to access software offered in university computer labs. AVD provides a simplified and streamlined process that does not require a VPN connection or application installation.
VMWare Remote Lab (Legacy)
Use VMWare to run a virtual desktop that has all the same software available in campus computer labs. This application is slower and less reliable than AVD, it will also require a VPN connection and VMWare Horizon Client installation.
- Log into apps.uark.edu
- Install VMWare Horizon Client
Off-campus users will be required to connect to the campus VPN before accessing Remote Lab. Download GlobalProtect VPN.
