Kellogg Virtual Desktop

The Kellogg community can access a Windows virtual desktop to utilize a suite of applications and special software. This service, available through NUworkspace, provides software access from any web-browser. No local software installation is required. 

Avoid shared spaces, using Lab or kiosk stations by connecting to a virtual desktop from your own computer. For more information, please click here. A university NetID is required. The software titles included in NUworkspace are the same offerings available on Kellogg physical lab and kiosk stations.

Computing Kiosks

Kiosk computer stations are available in select campus locations to provide basic computing functions to the Kellogg community. Kiosks are intended to provide access to the internet, email and Microsoft Office applications. Kellogg faculty, students and staff log on to stations using NetID and NetID password.

Leverage a virtual desktop using your own computer for your special software needs as opposed to using a physical lab station. Accessing a virtual desktop gives you access to the same software titles via the web as using a physical lab thin-client workstation. Bloomberg is the only application that requires access at a physical terminal, see the Research Support Bloomberg Software page for additional information.
