How can I Get Help?
Students can get help on accessing and using the FSE Cloud Classroom by emailing FSECloudClassroom@asu.edu
Faculty and staff can get assistance, such as how to get a new virtual environment created for your courses by submitting a request to FSE Cloud Classroom Support in ServiceNow.
To access FSE Cloud Classroom, go to asu.apporto.com. On the Apporto Welcome page click the Log In button.

At the Microsoft Services Login page select Student and log in with your ASURITE and password. Do not select Faculty/Staff/Student Worker. You will not be able to proceed and you will have to clear your browser cache and return to the Login page if you do.

After logging in you will be taken to your Apporto Desktop Selection Menu. This should have two desktops by default: a GPU Windows Desktop and a Windows Desktop. Depending on your enrolled courses you may see more selections on this screen.

Upon launching a desktop environment the Apporto page may prompt you to allow notifications and access to see clipboard content. You may choose to allow or block these notifications.


You will be given a brief tutorial on how to use the Apporto tools provided as part of the FSE Cloud Classroom. Feel free to look through these screens to help you get the most out of the tools.

Double-click the Cloud Mounter icon to add a cloud drive to Apporto and access files easily from your ASU cloud account such as Google, oneDrive, or Dropbox. Use this if you need to transfer files out of the cloud classroom systems or need to work across multiple cloud classrooms

Congratulations! This concludes the basic steps to use your FSE Cloud Classroom. If you have any further questions contact your professor or see How can I Get Help? above.
