How to Seek Help with a Computer Problem
  1. Send an email to sysadmin. A Trouble Ticket will be created and an appropriate person will respond ASAP.
    Note: For issues related to Cluster Support/HPC send an email to hpc instead.
    or        
    Create/review/modify a trouble ticket using the Trouble Ticket Web Interface.

  2. Use the table below to see who is the most likely person to be able to help you with your problem.
    Click on their name to send them an email directly, or phone/visit them in their office.

  3. If you are unsure about who is the best person, send the request to sysadmin or visit Hennings 203C.
