Remote Access
Staff can access the RGU Desktop by using Citrix Workspace which is installed on all devices with a RGU build (Windows and Mac).

You can access the guide on how access your RGU Desktop HERE (If you are using and RGU Device Citrix is pre installed and will not need to be installed)


Tips and useful Info:

  • Use your H: or O: drive when saving your files.
  • From inside the remote desktop, you can't work on files stored on the device you're using. You can only access/save/modify/delete files on your H: or O: drive.
  • You can't add your own programs to the remote desktop.
  • You should be able to print to your local printer.
  • At the end of your session, log out. If you just close the client window this will leave your Remote Desktop session running. It will eventually be stopped automatically, but you will lose any unsaved data.
  • If you have any issues please contact the Helpdesk by phone on 01224 262777 or email at itservicedesk@rgu.ac.uk and we will be able to remote in and assist.
