For Students

The OTS Technology Support Desk team (formerly known as Student Computing Services) helps students with general technology issues, troubleshooting laptop or connection problems, malware removal and wēpa printing. We also have multimedia support services and studios where you can check out photo, video and audio equipment or book a consultation with our team. 

Our Tech Services Desk is located on the main floor of Cook Library, in the Academic Commons. See hours and ways to contact us.
