Using the Citrix technology you can access internal college IT resources and applications from an external source e.g. from your home PC.

If you have already installed the client please now access via this link.

In order to utilize this system you must make sure you have the following installed or available on the PC that you will be using to access the Citrix system:

A Broadband internet connection
An Internet Browser (Internet Explorer 5.X or higher recommended)
The Citrix Web Client Installed (see below)

STEP 1 - INSTALL CITRIX WEB CLIENT

To download the Citrix Client Software, click this link and download the client labelled "Citrix Online plug-in - Web".

Click on the "Click to Download your file now" link

STEP 2 - ACCESS THE CITRIX DESKTOP

Using your internet browser, navigate to this web page.

Note: Add this address to your favourites list to access it quickly in the future.

In the "log in" section (see Figure 2 below), fill in your username, password and the domain (college). These are the same details you would use to log in to a College pc or laptop.

There may a considerable delay before you get a desktop displayed like the image below. The length of the delay will be determined by the speed of your connection to the internet.

Once the desktop is displayed (see Figure 4 below) you can now access internal applications such as Unit-e or SAM using the icons provided on the desktop, just as you would if using a pc or laptop in the College.
