If you need to use a remote computer lab, your instructor will list web addresses on your D2L course site. (Learn more about D2L.) Be sure to use the web address for connecting to remote computers via web browser. Connecting via desktop application uses a different web address.

Supported browsers

• For Windows: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox (Version 55 or later), Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer (Version 11 or later) are supported.
• For macOS: Apple Safari, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox (Version 55 or later) are supported.

How to connect via web browser

1. Launch a supported web browser.
2. Go to the web address that your instructor included on your D2L course site for connecting to remote computers via web browser — not desktop application.
3. If you have not signed into Office 365 recently for email or other services, you will be prompted to sign in with your Marquette email address and password.
