Experiencing technology issues of any kind, please submit a help ticket and one of our support agents will take ownership of your request until it is resolved.

Computer Lab Rules and Guidelines
The university maintains computer labs which are available for use by all students. Please contact the staff on duty for the times when assistance is available. All students are required to maintain their data on personal data disks or save to their institution provided OneDrive. We recommend that no personal or academic information be saved directly on any campus desktop. Devices wipe all data from the device when you log out from the machine. Security systems are in place to restrict access to software and protect the College's software copyrights from destruction or the introduction of computer viruses. Hard drives are periodically optimized and/or purged of non-essential files.
All persons using the computer resources are required to follow the guidelines set forth for priority of use. Inappropriate use and/or behavior in the lab area, as well as violations of rules and regulations of the College will result in disciplinary action and restriction from computer services use.
