Thank you for all your patience. With IT’s assistance and after several rounds of testing, we are glad to inform you that Wind remote access is now available through NYU Shanghai’s Virtual Computer Lab at the New Bund Campus!
How to Apply
To apply for remote access, please fill out an application first.
Important Note
You should use Wind ONLY for the purpose of course assignments, Capstone Project or scholarly research.
Using Wind for commercial purposes is prohibited. You can never share full or substantial portions of articles, profiles, reports, spreadsheets, datasets, etc. from Wind with anyone outside of NYU Shanghai, including experiential client projects, internships, and current employers.
Please make a booking to use Wind on VCL. Visit https://nyushanghai.libcal.com/space/44250 to book a timeslot (maximum duration is 120 minutes.) Please only log on to the terminal after reserving your time (China Standard Time).
Only one user can use the Wind service at a time. We ask our users to be attentive to their booked slots.
Each Wind terminal has a download limit through Excel Add-In (also known as API). When the terminal is at its limit, you will see an error message when loading data and wait for a week before it resets.
Please remember to be considerate to fellow users – only download what you need or export data from the terminal interface directly which doesn’t count in the download limit of Excel Add-In.
Please turn your VPN (vpn.shanghai.nyu.edu) on before you access Wind remotely. If you have any questions on VPN, please contact IT for help through shanghai.it.help@nyu.edu.
