The Service Desk is available on campus and virtually for all things Tech Services. Check out some of the resources we have online and reach out for support if needed.

On Campus Supports

Tap into these on-campus resources to enhance your student life.
  • We've worked to update and enhance the capacity of our bandwidth on both campuses and continue to have technicians to address any Wi-Fi issues, available through the Service Desk.
  • Our computer labs are open and modified with increased spacing to accommodate social distancing.
  • The laptop loaner program is still available, with a loan period of two weeks.
  • We maintain a Systems Status page to communicate any system changes or outages. Check this page out if you think a software or system is not performing as it should.
