Course Announcement Template
To convey information about Azure VMs please add the following information to your course as an announcement.
Azure VM Environment:
The Azure VM Environment provides access to a virtual machine (VM) for student use. These VMs provided by the college are for students whose personal computer is not capable of running the required software for their course, i.e. the software only runs in Windows or the laptop / Chromebook doesn’t have a graphics card that can render a 3D environment.
Requesting Access:
Students that need to utilize Azure VM will need to submit a ticket with ITS requesting access, this request can also be made by the student's instructor.
Information needed:
- Course ID
- Student ID/Username
- Application(s) that need to be utilized for the course
If a student is submitting the request, ITS will need the confirmation of the student's instructor before proceeding. It's important to find out what applications are required to ensure that the student is placed into the correct Azure VM group. Systems will need to be notified, as they will handle granting the students access and moving them to the correct group.

1. In a web browser, navigate to the following link: https://its.forsythtech.edu/support/home
