Features |
During posted working hours, the HelpDesk staff are available to answer questions by telephone, email, or on a walk-in basis. We provide limited support for personally owned employee and student computers at walk-in service only. The amount of time given to each laptop is based off of other demand for our services and severity of the issue.
Common issues/questions that we provide support for:
- Support for departmentally and personally owned computers via phone and email
- Students, faculty, and staff that are having issues with their account (i.e. password reset, locked out of account, etc.)
- Referrals to expert applications consultants specializing in statistical, mathematical, database management, Web publishing, or desktop software applications
- Referrals to expert systems consultants specializing in Windows, Macintosh, Linux, or desktop and networking systems
- Help installing programs onto computers and laptops
- Virus removal from computers and laptops
- Issues with projectors
If you have any tech questions, give us a holler. We can help coach or direct you on resolving many common computer problems, including backing up data, securing your computer, and updating your operating system and applications.
