Restructured Support at your campus
There's two forms of technology support for your campus:

Tech Services will REPAIR, INSTALL, & TROUBLESHOOT any TECHNOLOGY Hardware and Software. They support all Aldine Computers, Printer Connections and Mobile Devices.
All requests must be made to the help desk by calling, submitting a ticket in ePortal, or directly on your desktop using a messenger feature (coming soon)!
So what can you help me with?

Remember: In regards to the Schoology online mandatory training courses, many of you may be discovering that there is a loading issue with the certificates of completion. Know that tech services is working to remove the popup blocker that is preventing the certificates from appearing. You are not doing anything wrong. Your progress within the courses will be saved and you can always go back to view the certificate. For right now, just complete the coursework and your certificate is projected to be viewable within 2-3 days.
Don't forget to update your password!
It's also about that time that all of our passwords expire, so don't ignore those messages! Once your password expires you lose access to things like Eduphoria and eSchool until you update your password!
