Welcome to the VPA Office of Information Technology Answers site. Here you'll find answers to frequently asked questions and technical documentation related to using computer hardware, software and services within the college and across the university. Look to the navigation menu on the left of this page for content by category. Under each category, instructions are further categorized by computing platform (Mac or Windows), by primary affiliation (i.e. faculty, staff or student), and equipment provenance (i.e. institutionally or personally-owned).
Office Hours
The Office of Information Technology follows standard campus administrative office hours: Monday through Friday 8:30am - 5:00pm during the academic year, and 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. over the summer break. The office is closed for holidays as recognized by the Office of Human Resources. Support requests submitted outside of office hours will be addressed the following business day.
Contact
Requests for IT support can be submitted via email to vpa@su-jsm.atlassian.net.
Please refrain from unscheduled walk-ins to the VPA IT offices. The offices are sometimes unstaffed as personnel attend to duties elsewhere on campus, and staff present may be unable to offer immediate assistance due to already scheduled commitments.
