One-on-One Consultation with Professional Staff

PTRC Consultation
Consultations may be brief, a phone call or conversation with one of our staff members, or may be extended, taking place over the course of a semester or year. For consultation on complex projects, we encourage faculty and staff to apply for a mini-grant or fellowship.

Solving Problems with Your Own Computer

In providing technical support, Technology’s goal is to help students learn to care for their own computers. Student clinics are designed to give students direct access to Technology's expertise. We instruct students, in small groups, to troubleshoot and resolve their own software issues. You should bring your computer and the original CDs for any software that you suspect is causing trouble. Note: Students are instructed on a first-come-first-served basis.
