How Do I Connect?
Windows/Mac: Most web browsers support HTML5 and will allow you to use the light version of Citrix, which doesn’t require the installation of additional software. In the light version, the Citrix desktop is rendered within the browser. This is the recommended method for connecting. Note that printing is not available in the light version.
Android/iOS: You will need to install Citrix Workspace from the App Store or Google Play.
Connecting Through a Web Browser using the Light Version (Windows/Mac)
- Open your web browser and browse to the college Citrix website.
- Enter your CSU netID and Password and log on.
- If your browser supports it, you’ll have the option to “Use light version”, which doesn’t require the Citrix Workspace software.
- If you aren’t prompted to choose and instead are taken straight to the Citrix StoreFront page, you can change to the light version by clicking your name at the top right and “Change Citrix Receiver”.
- Launch Citrix by clicking on the available desktop icon.
