I&IT 2nd Tier Support

If the I&IT Help Desk cannot provide timely, if not immediate, solutions to your questions or problems, you may be referred to I&IT 2nd Tier Support for further assistance (alternatively, you may be referred to your department’s technical contact).

    • Consulting, research and distribution of campus-wide licensed software
    • Researching and consulting on software and hardware compatibility and upgrade issues.
  • Work with campus technicians on implementing I&IT technical practices throughout the university, such as Windows group policy and firewalls.
  • Provide First Tier end-user support for selected university units, such as the President’s staff and the University Advancement division
  • Administer specialized applications such as Mailman and email “white listing”
  • Provide secondary support of Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs)
  • Test new hardware and software, such as laptops for the Learning Centered Technology Initiative and the latest Windows and Macintosh operating systems
  • Recommend specialized training for end-users moving to the latest versions of common applications, such as Microsoft Office 2007
  • Assist the I&IT Support First Tier Help Desk support team with escalated tickets such as wireless networking and software licensing distribution.

Selected Total Support

In addition to the above services, I&IT 2nd Tier Support group also provides all computer support for the University Advancement Division and the Collins College of Hospitality Management.
