My desktop

Page reviewed:  27/01/2026

By connecting to the "My Desktop" service, you gain access to SLU's standard programs and the documents and files you have saved on an SLU computer.

My Desktop can be used both from SLU's network and from home on your own computer, tablet or phone. All you need is a browser and an internet connection.

  • Through the service, all students can access the programs that are also available in SLU's computer rooms.
  • You can access your home directory and all files you have saved on SLU's storage.
  • You have the opportunity to use more resource-intensive programs, such as statistics programs.
  • You do not have to download and install programs on your local computer, you can instead run them directly via the service.
