There are several ways to access the software you need to complete your coursework. Our Virtual Lab allows access to applications. Our Linux machines have always been remotely accessible. Additionally, some software is available to be downloaded to personal computers and used off campus.

Remote Access to Computer Labs
We have been able to set up a remote desktop gateway for students to access the software they need to complete their projects and other classwork.
Remote Desktop Notes and Etiquette:
- Don’t stay logged on – you are sharing these computers with others - Log off when finished.
- Idle sessions will automatically logged off – make sure to save your work frequently.
- Make a note of the machine that you are using in case there are any questions or problems.
- If you get disconnected, try again
- A Duo Push is required for the remote lab (text and phone call do not work.)
- Report problems (and successes) to admin@eng.auburn.edu – 334-844-2280
You can access the remote desktop portal from the following URL:
VPN
Connecting a Virtual Private Network (VPN) from your off-campus computer is required to access man campus services and some software licenses.
Linux Lab Access
Any College of Engineering student can use the tux labs to access the Engineering Network from off-campus. Follow the links below to specific setup instructions. VPN connection is not required to access the Linux labs. A Duo Push is required for the remote lab (text and phone call do not work.)
Setup for SecureCRT and Xming is described here.
If you require a graphical interface for Linux you may use the Remote Desktop lab
