How do I log in to the Cybersecurity Capstone Simulation (CCS) in Virtual Desktop (VDA)?

This article provides instructions on how to log in to the Cybersecurity Capstone Simulation. Please click here to visit the CCS login page.
Note: You can log in only after you have been assigned to a simulation by your instructor. You will receive an e-mail confirmation of your team assignment.

Step 1: To log in, type your University of Maryland Global Campus username and password and click Submit.

Step 2: The Welcome screen will explain the aim of the simulation.

Step 3: Click Continue to proceed.

Step 4: Next, Popups will appear in the CCS.​
      • Clicking the icon closes the popup and returns you to the screen you were on. 
      • Clicking the Close button, if present, will achieve the same effect as clicking the icon above.
      • The Cancel button, if present, returns you to the previous screen and aborts any changes you have made to the settings in the popup screen.
      • Finally, clicking the Save button will save any changes to the settings made on the popup screen.
