Installed applications

The table below is adapted from an existing IT Department list of what applications are available as standard

  • online via Remote Desktop Server KENRDS00 and

  • onsite via the CAD, Mac and Music Labs available at Kensington.

Please be aware that some of the listed items may be out of date.

Applications on the Remote Desktop Servers (aka ‘RDS’) and Lab machines are available to all HE and VET students who have an @student.nida.edu.au account.
Students should be aware that the Labs may be booked for teaching sessions - check ASIMUT and approach HE/VET staff in Student Services if you feel you will need to book a longer block of time to complete your project.

See the following guide for how to access RDS00: https://nida.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HOW/pages/29360719
