VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:

If this is your first time using the Remote Lab, you will need to set up your password first. You can do this on any campus computer or at the IT Helpdesk in WG 108.

Username: Your NetID without @uw.edu (e.g., johndoe)

Password: Your Student ID number

Upon logging in on campus for the first time, you will be prompted to change your password. Once you have set your new password, you will be able to access the Remote Lab. 

You must complete this step before attempting to access the Remote Lab.

How to Access the Remote Lab:
Log-In Instructions from Windows-based computers
Log-In Instructions from Apple-based computers

Once you've installed and launched HuskyOnNet, you will be able to visit the pool of available campus computers.

Note: Use your Tacoma campus computer username and password to log in. Your username is your NetID, and your password is the one you set after changing it from the default (your student ID number).

This service is available 24 hours/7 days a week. Users are randomly assigned to available PCs in the pool and will not be able to select previously used computers. To access and work on files over multiple sessions, store your documents on your personal H:Drive or your preferred cloud storage.

Contact the IT Helpdesk if you are having difficulty logging in to campus computers, forgot your password, or need any other assistance — tachelp@uw.edu or (253) 692-4357.
