If you want to connect to CS machines from your dorm room or home, use a web browser or an SSH client. SSH encrypts all communications, so connections are secure. CS systems are normally accessible only from campus networks; for off‑campus access the supported method is Citrix. Citrix works best via the Citrix Workspace (Desktop) app but you can also use the web portal at vapps.vassar.edu. After logging into the Citrix desktop you can open a browser or terminal and connect to the CS remote server.
