Citrix allows Selkirk College students, faculty, and staff to access a virtual Windows computer or specialized application on their own personal computers securely from anywhere (on and off-campus) and from any platform (Mac OS, Windows, Chrome OS, Linux, etc.) using the Citrix Receiver and Workspace applications.
Note: Citrix server is based on Windows, meaning that non-Windows users may need to use Windows keyboard shortcuts (e.g., Ctrl+C instead of Cmd+C) while using the applications.
Citrix resources should not be used to circumvent regional restrictions (e.g. accessing content from countries with restricted access to local content. Please contact the content source for exemptions.)
Access to Citrix virtual machines (VMs) is based on your program registration. All registered students will have access to the General Purpose and General Purpose + RRS VMs. Other specialty programs have their own VMs assigned on their program registration. If you do not see any available VM groups, please submit a heldesk request at https://go.selkirk.ca/
Faculty and Staff have the same access as above.
