What We Do
If you need technology help, you can count on the HelpDesk & Tech Services.
HelpDesk
The HelpDesk can troubleshoot and repair software related computer problems, refer hardware repairs to a certified technician for resolution and assist you with protecting your computer against spyware, adware and viruses. The HelpDesk can also assist you in scheduling Audio/Visual services for your class or event.
Tech Services
Tech Services provides a wide variety of technology support to the campus community. Our staff includes technicians qualified to repair almost any computer and certified to provide warranty service on Lenovo and Apple computers. Our education, experience, and certifications enable us to provide quality support.
Computer Repair
We know that your computer is crucial to your work here at Washington College. When it does not work properly, life grinds to a halt. That's why the Help and Support staff works hard to get your computer back up and running quickly.
The Technicians and the HelpDesk staff collaborate to provide the campus community with full support for software and hardware repairs. Software repairs are diagnosed and typically resolved by the HelpDesk, but are escalated to higher level technicians if necessary. However if your computer's hardware fails, our certified technicians are available to diagnose the problem and begin the repair work.
Schedule Service
To discuss your repair options, schedule service, and get a repair estimate, contact the HelpDesk by email at helpdesk@washcoll.edu or by phone at 410-778-7777.
Note: computers owned by Washington College will receive priority repair service and are repaired free of charge.
Certifications
Because our technicians are certified to repair Apple and Lenovo computers, you can have warranty service completed right here, saving you time.
Of course, we can repair non-Apple and non-Lenovo systems and help you ship these machines in for service.
