Whitman Remote Desktop is a great way for you to be able to participate in course work, complete homework from the comfort of your dorm room or apartment, or anywhere else if you can't get to one of our labs. The software in our labs is there because your extremely hard-working faculty have requested that it be there because it's part of your coursework. We have finite lab space, so if none is available, if a laptop cart can't be delivered to your classroom (because these are also a finite resource) or if the weather is bad enough that classes are cancelled, you can still take care of your academic responsibilitiesa lab. This is especially useful when lab space and laptop checkouts are limited during times of heavy usage.
