To access the Application Gateway, follow these instructions:

  3. After you successfully enroll and sign in, you will be brought to the app.usf.edu authorized login page, at which point you will log in using your NETID and password
  4. Before you can access the available software applications, you must select the box for the Citrix license agreement. Then click Download.
  5. The download box will appear blue once you have selected the license agreement.
  6. Then select the Continue button.
  7. Once in the application, you can select the Software program of your choice from a folder. If the application you want is not available, you can search for it in the Search bar.
  8. Select your application.
    Please note: these are virtual programs that will not install on your computer and you will need an internet connection to use them. It may take several minutes for the application to load.
  9. Once the application opens, all of the software features will be available to you.
    Please note: the software application is streamed, so please save your work frequently.
