Student Computer Technical Support
We are here to assist you with computer problems you may encounter that occur after normal school hours. Some of our help hours are during the regular school day, and we are happy to help you during those hours, but we are particularly here to help during the hours that the computer staff is not here - like at 10pm when you are so frustrated that you are about to throw the computer out of the window. Please keep in mind that our help hours are STRICT. We also have a lot of work ourselves, so please respect our time to do our own work when it is not during designated help hours. Thanks!
If you have questions, you can email them to arch-consult@virginia.edu.
