What is it?

ITS offers technical support to faculty and staff with university-owned computers, peripherals, and software. Technical support is assistance with computer hardware and/or software that is not functioning correctly. Technical support is not training nor is it advice on application use. It is incumbent upon each individual to be knowledgeable about and familiar with the software they need to perform their job duties. Personal equipment cannot be serviced by ITS.
