Personal data

For certain courses, a personal storage space for the storage and use of sensitive personal data will be created for students. For security purposes, this storage space is only accessible through the UiO service view.uio.no (off-site login onto Windows computers).

The path to your personal storage space will be provided to you by e-mail at the start of the semester.

Off-site login onto view.uio.no is done through the app VMware Horizon Client, which must be downloaded onto your personal computer. Here is how to do that:

Step 1:

Install VMware Horizon Client by following this guide on UiOs website

Step 2:

Open "UiO Windows Desktop to connect to the on-site computer.

Step 3:

The storage space can be connected the first time by creating a shortcut. The easiest method is to right-click (Command + click on Mac) on the desktop.

a) Choose "New --> Shortcut" from the menu.

b) Paste or write out the pathway to your personal storage space. This will be provided to you by e-mail at the start of the semester.

c) Choose "Next" and provide a name for the shortcut. Select "Finish".

The pathway is now available on your desktop under the name you have provided.

If you are in need of assistance with creating shortcuts or need other technical support, please contact our UiO:Helpdesk.
