Technology Support Help Desk

Computer misbehaving? Not sure what to do? Need answers? The Tech Support Help Desk is here to help! The Help Desk is a central point of contact for computing help on campus. All calls for computer support/assistance should be directed to the Help Desk, rather than to individual staff members. Calling the Help Desk is the quickest way to get a response, and you only have to remember one number - just dial HELP (x4357)!

The Help Desk System

• Submit requests/questions via e-mail to helpdesk@snc.edu or online via the Help Desk system at http://www.snc.edu/help
• Issues can also be submitted using the campus Service Request form at http://www.snc.edu/service
• Track your requests to follow their progress and resolution
• Look up answers to common questions in the "Knowledge Base"
• See "Global Issues" currently affecting other users
• Receive e-mail notification from the system whenever your issues are acted upon (messages come from "SNC Help Desk")

Help Us Help You!

Again, please report ALL problems to the Help Desk.
We can't fix things if we don't know that they're broken!

How to report a problem

• Please be as specific as possible with the information you report - it will help us solve your problem faster.
• If your computer displayed any error messages, please write them down so that you can tell us exactly what they said.
• Tell us what you were doing when the problem occurred (e.g., saving a file in Word 2007, shutting down the computer, etc.).
• Tell us what you've tried so far to solve the problem (e.g., restarting your computer, turning a printer off & back on, etc.).
• If you're not worried about losing unsaved data, try restarting your computer. Restarting fixes many computer problems. (If you are worried about losing anything, do not restart unless told to do so by the Help Desk staff.)
• Call the Help Desk and relay the above information. Depending upon the type of problem, Help Desk personnel may also want to know:
• • If this is a recurring or a new problem. If recurring, when did it start?
  • If anything has changed recently on your computer (e.g., newly installed software).
  • What operating system you use (Windows XP, Windows 7, Mac OS 10.5, etc.).
