With most instruction occurring online this year, Dalhousie's online computer labs allow instructors and students to use specialized software remotely.​

• Dal has two virtual labs (VLab1 and VLab2) that will deliver specialized software for Engineering, Architecture, Business, and other programs that require specialized software via a browser on a virtual desktop. These virtual labs can be accessed directly from a browser on any device.
• ​Dal also provides remote access to the physical lab computers across campus using our remote lab (RLab).  Students can access a specialized lab (e.g., Engineering) by logging into the RLab, picking a computer in a lab they would normally use (e.g., SxtnRoom-XXX), and logging into that computer. In order to login to the computers in labs on campus you will be required to first sign on to Dalhousie's

• There is also access to the university's Software Downloads page where students can download available software for specific courses.
• The online Computer Labs are open at all times (24 X 7) to current Dal students and faculty. Support is provided at ​
  support@dal.ca.
