Getting Support

If you require technical assistance, please send an email to science.it@mcgill.ca. In this email, it is helpful to have:

  1. A clear subject line describing, in short, your problem.
  2. A body describing your email with as much detail as possible.
  3. Should you require a visit from the IT staff, your availability for the day.
  4. Your computer's name.
  5. Your username.
