Access your apps off campus
To access the UniApps portal please follow the steps below, this is based on first time use and that you have admin rights on your personal device.
For applications that are listed as unavailable this is likely due to licensing restrictions. Please click the information button on the app to check for the requirements.
Over time more applications will delivered using CloudPaging technology, this allows the software to be streamed and locally virtualised, making applications available anytime, anywhere. In the meantime, on most of the apps there is a link to the developer's website for information / external download, where possible.
Please navigate here and sign in with your University e-mail address and password.

If you click an application that is streamed from the Uniapps server, Uniapps will need to install the Cloudpaging Player on the first run. This will happen automatically if you click to launch an application. Below for example, I click Launch on 7-Zip.
