Due to COVID-19, the IT Help Desk team is providing a hybrid model of support from both on-campus and remote locations following these guidelines:

Remote diagnostic tools and troubleshooting will be utilized where feasible. After appropriate troubleshooting, an appointment may be made for additional support at the IT Help Desk counter in the SSC, or in an employee’s office. Safe practices including social distancing, sanitation and wearing a face covering are required. 

Office Support: allow for a distance of at least six feet between you and the support staff at all times. Please ensure sanitation wipes and hand sanitizers are nearby in your office to clean hands, mice, keyboards, and work surfaces. Please move your mousepad away from the computer area and free the work area from unnecessary items. Follow all required university safety guidelines for sanitation, social distancing and face coverings. Failure to do so will delay the delivery of support and may require rescheduling the appointment. 

Personally-owned equipment: IT support staff are not permitted to physically work on personally-owned computers and mobile devices.  Staff will attempt to provide support through documentation and verbal recommendations when possible.
