ArcGIS and ArcMAP are available in the lab in CELS 123, and remotely through Citrix.

Using Citrix Receiver

In order to access ArcMAP, you will need to use the web-based "light" version of Citrix. You do not need to download the Citrix Receiver program.

Mapping the N:\ drive

If you have previously used the lab in CELS 123 to access ArcMAP, you may have stored your files on a USB flash drive. In order to access your files through ArcMAP in Citrix, you will need to copy your files onto the N:\ drive (your MSU files drive.)

Once you have mapped your N:\ drive to your personal computer, copy the files from the folder in your USB drive where you store your lab assignments into the N:\ drive. You will need to add the folder in its new location back into ArcCatalog.

Once that is done, you will be able to access your files through the N:\ drive in ArcMap in Citrix. You will also be able to access them from any campus computer which allows you to access your N:\ drive (including those in CELS 123.)

Remember to save your files with relative file pathways instead of static!
