Call the Help Desk during finals for the fastest tech help

bcraig3 Tech Support

It’s finals week. You’re under a deadline. You don’t have much time, and something goes horribly wrong. Maybe you can’t access a DePaul technology service or application. Perhaps it’s an issue with the application. Who knows?!? The only thing that matters is that the technology you need isn’t working. Sometimes things go wrong at really bad times.

Information Services strives to make technology work seamlessly and conveniently, but sometimes things go wrong. When they do, call the Help Desk at (312) 362-8765 or stop by the Genius Squad for fast service.

When you’re on a deadline, you’ll get the fastest service by calling the Help Desk during their hours of operation instead of emailing or submitting a Help Desk ticket in ServiceNow.
