Keep SOM Running

In order to allow faculty, staff, and students to work remotely, the Office of Information Technology has developed the following action plan.

  • Create an IT Support Action Plan for campus and clinical support.
  • Create alternative methods for faculty and staff to access their work files offsite.

We do not have laptops to lend out to faculty and staff.  If you have an assigned desktop to you, please follow the instructions that pertain to desktop users. 

If you have a standard laptop assigned to you, please follow the instructions that pertain to laptop users.  If your department assigns you a department laptop, please fill out the Loan Authorization Form, and give the form to your supervisor.  The supervisor will email this to the Office of Information Technology Department.
