Overview
As students enrolled in the graduate programs of the Faculty of Business at Brock University you have access to a dedicated service that will allow you to get your computer based work done without having to fight for a position in a common access computer lab. The dedicated computer facilities also provide software that is not available in any other labs on campus. You can access these facilities from almost any Internet connected computer.

After your account has been logged on you will see a desktop similar to Example 3. This is a virtual desktop that will serve as the workspace while using a thin terminal. All of your applications will be available through this desktop. You may not save files to your desktop. Instead save files to your My Documents folder. You should use your my Documents folder for all of your document storage. This is where all of your data should be stored. No information should be saved on the M:\ or N:\ drives. Any data that is saved in improper locations will be erased on a regular basis by automated processes without warning. The only other safe location to save files is to a USB Key plugged into your terminal. The USB drive will be available as the U:\ drive
