Citrix Account Information

Most of TMCC's software/service applications require the Citrix plugin and a valid network login.

If you are unable to launch an application and are certain you have the Citrix plugin installed and require assistance, please contact IT Customer Service.

Establishing a Citrix Account

Installing and Accessing Citrix

  • Once you have established an account you can install Citrix on your computer.
  • Open the Citrix application.
  • You will be prompted to install the plugin.
  • Click the box for "I agree" and then click "Install".
  • Click "Run" if prompted to do so.
  • If a User Account Control box pops up, click "Allow".
  • Click "Install".
  • Click "Finished".
  • At the end of the installation, the installer will ask for your work email or server address; enter "https://citrixweb.tmcc.edu" and click "Next".
  • Your installation should now be complete/installed successfully.

You now have the opportunity to access the applications via https://citrixweb.tmcc.edu or by logging in through the Citrix Receiver plugin from your Start menu.

  1. Accessing via https://citrixweb.tmcc.edu:
    • On the Citrix Welcome window, enter your username and password (same network account you use for TMCC email, etc.)
  2. Accessing the applications by using the Citrix Receiver application:
    • From the "Please log on to citrixweb" window, enter your username and password (same network account you use for TMCC email, etc.)
    • From the CitrixReceiver popup window: click the "plus sign" to add apps.
    • Click on "All Applications".
    • Select the applications you wish to use.

Logging in to Citrix

  • Select the Citrix icon.
  • Select "Accept the TMCC Network Telecommunications Use Statement".
  • Enter your user name and password (the same password that you use to log in to the TMCC network).

Printing from within Citrix

  • Citrix users must have a "Terminal Server" compatible printer as their default printer. Typically, this is a laser printer. Desk-jet/ink-jet printers are not configured for successful printing over a network and are not supported on the TMCC Citrix system. Redirection of your print job to a nearby Xerox printer works fine.
  • Contact us to determine if your laser-printer is supported by Citrix.

  • Go to the Citrix website.
  • Select "Downloads" at the top of the page.
