Access a Virtual Desktop Collection

Please note that all students, faculty, and staff automatically have access to the DataWorks - Virtual Desktop, and as of October of 2025 all SAS software is now available in the general DataWorks - Virtual Desktop.

If you need help connecting for the first time, please submit a Report Issue with a Virtual Desktop Request.

Click Request Service to request access to one or more Virtual Desktops, such as College of Business, Med RDS, College of Science, and others. NOTE: Access for a specific course is granted for the duration of the semester. Other student access is granted for the duration of the calendar year. After that time, you will need to submit a new request if you still need access to the specified collection.

Do you already have access? If you can view the collection in https://remote.unr.edu then you already have access to it. To log in, enter your username in the format UNR\NetID (example: UNR\jdoe).
