My name is Christopher, and I'm from the Division of Information Technology at Stony Brook University.
I'm here to discuss some of the benefits of the Virtual SINC Site.
The Virtual SINC Site is a program that allows you to access the academic software titles
available in our SINC Sites from your own computer. In order to access the Virtual SINC
Site, you'll need to download the Citrix Receiver application. Additionally, if you're not on
campus, you'll need to sign into the University's Virtual Private Network or VPN in order to
connect to the Virtual SINC Site. Information on the Citrix Receiver application and the
VPN can be found on the DoIT website.
In any web browser, go to it.stonybrook.edu. From there, click the Services tab at the
top of your screen and find the Virtual SINC Site. On the Virtual SINC Site Service Page,
you'll see the links to download the Citrix Receiver application and access the VPN if
necessary. Once you've downloaded the necessary applications, you can click the Virtual SINC
Site login button on the right-hand side. Be sure to have your NetID and NetID password
available.
On the Virtual SINC Site sign in page, enter your NetID and NetID password, and click the
"Log On" button.
Once you've signed into the Virtual SINC Site, you'll see your recently used applications
on the dashboard. To add a new application to the dashboard, you can search for it in
the upper right-hand corner of your screen, or click the plus sign on the left-hand side
to open the menu. Here, simply click a category to expand the menu, and click the desired
application to add it to your dashboard. Once you've added the application to your dashboard,
simply click the icon to open the application.
The Virtual SINC Site is a great tool for students, especially commuter students and
night owls who need access to specific and often expensive software from home or after
our SINC Sites have closed. If you have any questions about the Virtual SINC Site or run
into any problems, feel free to contact the TLT Student Help Desk by phone at 631-632-9602
or by email at helpme@stonybrook.edu.
