FAU Virtual Apps allows FAU students, faculty, and staff with an FAU username/password to log in to a Web-based system to access 24/7 a package of popular software from any device (including smartphones, tablets, PCs, and Macs), anywhere in the world with an Internet connection.  This access gives you the flexibility of using the software on campus, at home, or even while studying abroad.

Before you access this environment, you will need to install (only once) the Citrix Workspace client on your device. Once installed, you can log in using the Virtual Apps Web site. For detailed instructions, please follow the installation instructions and guides here.
