Are you working on a project/assignment for the class and need to use computer room software such as SPSS and MATLAB? You don’t have to go to computer rooms to do your homework. ICTO’s Virtual Computer Room service allows you to use computer software at home.

Virtual Computer Room is a remote access service that allows staff and students to use their own computers anywhere to get access to University-licensed software via Internet for teaching and learning purpose.

Using your UMPASS user ID and password, you can access Virtual Computer Room at https://vdesktop.um.edu.mo by using web browser or VMware Horizon Client to gain access to a range of software that is normally only available for use in our computer rooms, such as SPSS, MATLAB, EViews.
