LabCheck Instructions

Overview

These instructions are for Engineering courses which have been provisioned for remote access to computer labs.

Course instructors: 

  • Please follow this guide to verify all of your course staff are in the course staff AD group: Instructor Tools
    • Membership in this course staff group enables remote access to the provisioned lab(s).
    • All students enrolled in the course will have the same remote access. For un-enrolled students, graders, auditors, etc. see the linked article above.
  • Depending on how your course is structured, you may want to assign students/groups to numbered workstations.
  • If the lab is configured for a Hybrid setup (allowing both remote and in-person logins), it is very easy for a remote user to be kicked off of a computer by an in-person user. If running at or near the lab's capacity, please make sure to structure and moderate student usage of the computers.

Students:

  • Click here to log in to the LabCheck application.
    • To access LabCheck using an EWS guest account, login using ewsguest###@ad.uillinois.edu (replace ### with the appropriate number). You will still click the "Illinois Login" button and not the "Or login as guest" link.
