Technology Consultations and Troubleshooting

To help with physical distancing in our store on central campus, we are now scheduling appointments for our Smart Desk in Tech Connect. Our experienced staff in Tech Connect is ready to help with hardware and software purchasing consultation, new device setup, repair service intake and 30 minutes of complimentary troubleshooting. These services are available by appointment.
