All ECF labs remain closed for the Fall term due to the ongoing public health crisis.
Please see the messages from the Dean of the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering and President Gertler.

Departmental lab PCs have been made available via Remote Desktop. Students who were previously able to use a workstation in a departmental Windows lab will now be able to do so via RDP.
To access a lab PC, you should connect your RDP client to the hostname LabName-YourEcfUsername.rd.ecf.utoronto.ca; i.e., add the lab name (e.g., BA3128) and a dash in front of the hostname you would use for a regular ECF Windows Remote Desktop machine.
| Department* | LabName |
|---|---|
| Civil & Mineral | MB400 |
| Mechanical & Industrial | MB67, MB123, RS303, MC402 |
| Engineering Science | BA2128 |
| Chemical | WB216 |
| Electrical & Computer | CONTROL, BA3128, DESL, COMM |
| Materials Science | WB158 |
In addition, all students with ECF Windows access still have access to the general Remote Desktop pool via the hostname YourEcfUsername.rd.ecf.utoronto.ca.
(If you use one of these hostnames with your RDP client, there is no need to visit the ECF Student Services website to obtain an RDP file.)
To view the groups of machines you have access to, you may:
If you belong to a department which has made additional lab machines available, there will be a link to download an RDP file that will connect you to an available machine in that group.
Students are reminded that ECF supplies a remote access computing environment for both Windows and Linux systems:
As always, questions/problems should be EMail'd to ecfhelp@ecf.utoronto.ca
