Additional Information
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) provides access to a wide variety of software without ever having to set foot on campus. Think of it as remote controlling a loaner computer here on campus, only from anywhere in the world and from any device. We've prepared some instructions and a video explaining how students can use VDI:
Student instructions for accessing VDI
The SBCC Information Technology department has compiled a document that provides some steps you can take to create a more cyber secure home:
How to make sure you are cyber secure when working from home
The Luria Library has Chromebooks available for long-term check out and return.
Students may request to check out a hotspot for improved Internet connection by emailing circulation@pipeline.sbcc.edu
If you would like the opportunity to bring a mobile or laptop device to access campus wifi, we are making that option available. Those wishing to do so may park in West Campus Parking LOT 4-D, East Campus Parking LOT 1-A, East Campus Parking LOT 1-B (see map showing the wifi strength in purple and orange). In order to participate, you must remain in your personal vehicle to observe social distancing.
Campus Security will be monitoring the campus and will be asking students to stay in their vehicles and not sit on campus property (refrain from using picnic tables, seating areas or grouping). Please understand this is to comply with social distancing orders from Public Health officials.
Academic Technology Support hosts the individual virtual computer labs for the Business Division, Digital Arts Center, and Language Labs within its Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), and offers assistance using Zoom to connect with online classes.
