IT Help Desk Services

General Help

People consult the IT Help Desk in many ways: telephone, electronically, or by visiting our office at the main campus in the Facilities Office outside the Library. We have the collective expertise to help you with your computing needs. We can also re-route issues to other service areas when necessary. Our goal is to be welcoming and quick in our initial response, thoughtful in the problem-solving process, and reliable in our follow-up.
