The Computer Science Computing Facility (CSCF) help desk can help when your Point of Contact isn't available, or you don't know who to contact. The Help Desk provides multiple services such as:

  • Setting up passwords for WatIAM, GENERAL and TEACHING accounts
  • Computer imaging and base configuration
  • Help with eduroam wireless connection

Please note that even if your request seems unrelated to the above list, the help desk staff will receive your request and ensure that it is recorded and assigned to the appropriate full-time CSCF staff person. The help desk will also triage emails sent to cs-print, cs-accounts and some other "generic" email accounts.
