Software Remote Access – Student Mac

Omnissa provides users a secure, encrypted connection for remote access to virtual desktops and applications from various devices. These steps will connect you to your virtual desktop through workspace.oaklandcc.edu.

**NOTE** OCC Virtual Desktop sessions are refreshed at logoff/disconnect and any files saved locally will be lost. OCC recommends saving all files either to your Google Drive or to a flash drive, not the OCC virtual desktop. The USB drive sharing through HTML does not work on MacOS devices. To allow file sharing to a flash drive on a MacOS device, you will need to install the client.

1. Open a web browser on a computer and go to workspace.oaklandcc.edu
    
2. Click Omnissa Horizon Web Client
   
    
3. Enter in your OCC username
   Your OCC username is before the @ symbol in your email address
   Click Next
   
    
4. Verify with Okta multi-factor authentication method and enter your OCC password.
   Click Verify
   
    
5. Click the three dots under your pool selection (OCC Student, CIS, CAD) and select Launch from Client
   
   Note: If the client is not installed on your device, please follow the instructions to install the client.
