Introduction

Here are the instructions for using the SMUS virtual desktop. These instructions have changed since last year

It can be used to 'log in' to a SMUS computer no matter where you are, or what type of device you are using. You will have access to your regular network drives - such as your H: drive, and all SMUS programs (even if they are not installed on your own device). It's as if you are sitting at a school machine!
