CADTech offers in-person support during our business hours at our Helpdesk – 7B-1263 – in the Gannett building.

August 18, 2026 – Please note – we are still preparing all of the labs for the Fall semester with a very small team, so our response time to tickets may be a little slower this week. Please submit as much detailed information in your ticket as possible and we’ll respond as fast as we can. We still have quite a few labs to finish this week, so if you check your lab and the computers look like the aren’t imaged yet, they probably aren’t, and we are working on it as fast as we can! Thank you for your patience!
