Tech Services
Find everything you'll need to maximize technology amenities in your residence hall room or apartment as well as throughout your residential community. All residence halls and apartments have dedicated tech staff and spaces which are accessible 24 hours a day (make sure to keep your U Card on hand).
Tech in Your Room
Centers, Lounges & Labs
No matter what it is called in your building, our dedicated tech spaces are equipped with PC and Mac desktop computers, wireless internet, scanners, printers, and other peripherals that vary by building.
We're here to help!
Computer Center Coordinators assist with troubleshooting software and hardware problems, UMN-TV, and printing support, and computer center maintenance. Your CCC is available seven hours a week—check the posted schedule in your building to find a time to stop in for help or email them (contact info below in Meet Your CCC).
You can also send us a Connect It request for help with any problems concerning internet connectivity, TVs, printing, or other tech-related issues.

By entering the computer center, you have agreed to accept all of the following computer policies:
- Care for the computer center, since it is part of your home. Keep the computers and work surfaces clean. Food and beverages are not allowed in the center.
- Be kind to the computer equipment. We have a limited budget for repairs, replacement of broken machines, and stolen parts. Don’t tamper with the locks on the machines.
- Help keep the computers in working order. Do not change any configurations or setups on the computers.
- Save your files to the University’s file storage space, a cloud storage service, or on your USB flash drive. Do not save anything directly to the computers.
- Academic users come first. Non-academic users will be asked to leave if a computer is needed for coursework. The computer center is not to be used for online gambling, viewing pornography, copying copyrighted materials, or engaging in other non-academic activities.
There are many programs installed on the computers in the tech lounges that are free to be used for coursework, including Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat Pro, and more) and Microsoft Office.
Residents cannot install programs on provided computer center devices. If you need unique software for class not available on the tech lounge computers, you may be able to install it on your personal computer. Registered UMN students also have access to Microsoft Office, Wolfram Alpha Pro, and other software for free or at a discounted rate. Learn more at it.umn.edu/obtain-software.
Our team can help with just about any issue inside your residence hall or apartment building, but what about elsewhere on campus?
Contact University Technology Help at 612-301-4357 (1-HELP) or [email protected] if you're having trouble with your UMN internet ID/password or if you have questions about technology resources in other University spaces such as classroom buildings.
