About the CIT HelpDesk

CIT has friendly and helpful staff available via phone, remote support, and in Fraser Library. The HelpDesk provides technical support for the SUNY Geneseo community including:

• Network setup (including WiFi & VPN)
• Adding printers
• Academic software installation
• Sign-out and support technology available for loan
• Answering general computer questions

HelpDesk staff are not able to perform hardware repair or troubleshooting, OS installation, data recovery, or malware removal. Protect your technology investment by seeking in-warranty assistance from your computer manufacturer or Authorized Service Providers. CIT does not officially partner with any third parties for student repairs. The closest Apple Authorized Service Provider is the Apple Store at Eastview Mall.

For more information about the services available from the CIT HelpDesk or other technology questions, call 585-245-5588, chat with a representative, submit a request in our online system, or send an email to helpdesk@geneseo.edu

Technology Support for Departments

Each academic department is part of a cluster that is supported by a Technology Support Professional (TSP). Your TSP can assist you with all desktop computing needs. Contact the CIT HelpDesk by calling call 585-245-5588, submitting a request in our online system, or send an email to helpdesk@geneseo.edu to place a request for your TSP.

Supported Software & Hardware

Please visit the below "Supported" lists often as they are updated to reflect new technology and older technology no longer supported by CIT. Note: These lists are only for "college owned" equipment or tenants expecting service from CIT (if granted). CIT does not support personally owned equipment for faculty and staff.
