A MESSAGE FROM INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES (ITS)


In order to reduce the potential spread of COVID-19, as of Monday, March 23, 2020, the ITS Help Desk walk-up window in the Tech Hub will be closed until further notice. We will continue to provide phone (607-777-6420) and email (helpdesk@binghamton.edu) support during our regularly scheduled hours.
