IT Services for Students

The Help Desk maintains a selection of IT-related equipment for ease of distribution to SON faculty and staff and a more limited selection for students. These include replacement keyboards, mice or webcams, video cables or power/charging cords. Additional non-standard equipment is also available for borrowing, such as projectors, DVD players, etc.

The Help Desk can also assist with digital conversion/scanning of physical materials such as photos, documents, VHS tapes or DVDs, etc.
