Certification issues after upgrading to Mac OS Catalina Citrix Workspace App performing slowly. In this video, you will see how to install the standalone Citrix Receiver on a Mac.

Oct 30, 2019 The Citrix Netscaler version we are running does not support the newest ciphers. The only solution is to upgrade the Citrix Netscaler to a newer release that supports the modern ciphers. For the short term a workaround is to use an older version of Citrix Workspace App / Citrix Receiver.

What is ENGRAPPS?♯

Every Engineering degree program relies heavily on access to industry-standard software tools, available to our students from anywhere in the world from almost any computing device. Some of these programs rely on graphical acceleration to render 3D models or other visualization data.

ENGRAPPS provides access to the necessary applications for classwork through the Citrix Workspace client. This client is available on most modern computing platforms (macOS, Windows, Chrome OS, iOS, and Android) and allows you remote access to your tools.

ENGRAPPS access by academic program

Within the College of Engineering, students taking courses in MEM, CAEE, ET, CMGT, PROJ, and Freshmen/Sophomore Engineering programs have access to the Citrix System at this time. Other departments have access to software via remote desktop.
