The ITS Helpdesk was created in order to assist students, faculty, and staff of the UTM community with general computer and technology questions. It is currently located at 248 Paul Meek Library.

The HelpDesk performs a variety of tasks:

  • Answering general questions about campus technology
  • Providing verbal assistance with software and hardware problems
  • Relaying information and requests to all departments of Information Technology Services such as software installation, hardware repair, Banner training, and account management.
  • Controlling lab access and hours so that labs are only available to students, faculty, and staff at appropriate times
  • Fixing minor hardware problems in the labs such as paper jams and refilling toner in the printers
  • Recording 24-7 security videos in the labs to help ensure the safety of everyone and everything in the labs at all times
  • Assisting students, faculty, and staff that live on campus with configuration and installation of their UTM networking materials so that they may have internet access from their personal computers on the campus network
