Students must set-up their workstation before start of the Virtual workshop:

1. Students who are accepted in the workshop will get an e-mail from "centrasupport@saba.com" with instructions on how to set-up and access the learning environment. This will take about 30 to 50 minutes to complete and verify your system can reach the remote servers.
2. Students who are accepted into the workshop will get another e-mail from the workshop instructors on how to download and configure the tools used during the workshop labs and the remote access client to reach the remote servers for the labs. This will take about 4 to 8 hours to download, and about 2 to 4 hours to configure. This should be done during the work week so that the workshop instructors can assist if needed.
3. Students who are accepted into the workshop will also receive a link to download the presentations and labs for the workshop.
