Yale MyApps 

Running GIS often requires more computing power than standard applications. Yale ITS addresses this by offering powerful virtual machines through “MyApps.” 

  • Access: Most users can log in with their Yale email address and NetID password (Staff must request special permission).  

  • Pre-loaded Software: The MyApps Yale GIS comes with geospatial software, including: ESRI ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, Google Earth Pro, GeoDa (for spatial statistics), and Drone2Map. 

  • How to Access: Follow the [Getting Started with MyApps at Yale] guide.
