How do I access Virtual Labs?

Click on this link to access CAD Engineering applications: CAD Engineering Apps

Click on this link to access Engineering Sciences applications: Non-CAD Engineering and Sciences Apps


Once prompted, log in using the same credentials you would use to log into Office 365: samplestudent@fit.edu

Note: You must change the domain name to fit.edu by removing the "my" and dot in front of f-i-t.


Entering your credentials takes you to the virtual computer portal. You have two options:

Option One: You can double-click on the desktop icon, which takes you to a virtual Windows desktop. You will be able to access the applications from the desktop as well as use other tools. This option works best if you have multiple applications you'd like to run at the same time.

Option Two: You can directly open any application by double-clicking on it.


Next, log in to the virtual system. The first time you do this will take some time since your profile must be accessed and loaded. A circular progress bar will show you how much time is remaining in the process.


Log in with TRACKS ID and Password.


Once you are fully logged in, you will be in a Virtual Windows desktop environment.


You may get a pop-up regarding screen resolution. For some apps, you may need to adjust your screen resolution. You can adjust your screen resolution according to your display or just ignore the pop-up message.


You will see a toolbar in the top-left corner of the screen with the following menu options: 

Click on the My Files icon (see step 8.1 icon 3) to connect to your OneDrive.


Click on Add Storage.

IMPORTANT: Save all files before ending your session. If you do not save your files to OneDrive, you will lose your work after you end your session.
