Services for Students
The Information Technology Department provides limited support for student laptops. We are happy to provide technical assistance and advice to students concerning University-supported software and network configuration. Depending on the severity of the problem and whether the issue is hardware or software related, we may direct you to seek further assistance through your manufacturer or with CSSD Student Computing. The consultants are students at the University of Pittsburgh who can help with campus network connections, virus and spyware removal, software installation, data backups, and much more. To schedule an appointment, contact the Technology Help Desk at 412-624-HELP [4357]. Walk-in service is available at the Towers Lobby Support Center or the University Store on Fifth.
Wireless Network
Pitt Wifi internet access is available throughout both the Information Sciences and Sennott Square buildings. To report any problems with the Wireless Network, please report the problem to the University Help Desk via helpdesk@pitt.edu or 412-624-HELP.
