Q. How does Close2Home work?

If you're looking for certain software, like MATLab, use Close2Home. It allows you to remotely use a computer in our PC labs and the software you need for class.

For example, where it says "Search for Available Software" in the image above, you would type in "MATlab".

Then, click on the glowing green square indicating that we have MATlab.

Next, click on the Close2Home (Win) link.

Then, click on a green window square that indicates that the computer is available.

Then, click on Connect.

Then, log in with your MEID and password and click connect.

Viola!  You will see MATlab on your desktop.
