The Help Desk is available for repairs to your personal computer on a space and time available basis. Please contact us for further information or to set up an appointment using one of the methods listed at right.

The Networking Department concentrates on serving the campus’s inter- and intranet needs. We provide a network that is dynamically shared between all members of the campus community to facilitate academic research and collaboration.
