Help With ~ Remote Learning Resources for Students

Access to the Adobe suite is available for all students.

Those on campus may have noticed that many Macintosh computers have been removed and many Windows computers are missing keyboards and mice. In following social distancing guidelines, we have reduced the number of computers physically accessible in labs and public computing spaces to better protect the health and wellbeing of the Hamilton community. The resources on those inaccessible machines, however, are available through a remote connection to allow for continued use of the applications.

The Adobe suite (and other applications) can be found using the keyserver map of the Hamilton Campus. Once you have logged on (see below for access from off campus), you can search within the keyserver map for a free computer with the software you need. Then follow the instructions below that match the type of computers you are using:

• Macintosh to Macintosh Instructions
• Windows to Windows Instructions
• Macintosh to Windows Instructions
• Windows to Macintosh - contact the Help Desk

If you are off campus, you will need to apply for an approved VPN connection using the VPN Request Form. 

Questions? Contact the Help Desk at helpdesk@hamilton.edu or 315-859-4181.

Students can run multiple programs from off campus using the Citrix server, including MATLAB, MAXQDA, NVivo, R, SPSS, and Stata at https://citrix.hamilton.edu. Learn more about connecting to the server on the Introduction to Citrix guide. You do not need a VPN connection to access the Citrix server off-campus.
