Getting Support
If you require technical assistance, please send an email to science.it@mcgill.ca. In this email, it is helpful to have:
- A clear subject line describing, in short, your problem.
- A body describing your email with as much detail as possible.
- Should you require a visit from the IT staff, your availability for the day.
- Your computer's name.
- Your username.
Here's an example of a good email:
Subject: AOS-Jet-Duplex printer not working
Hi AOS Support,
I'm having trouble printing to AOS-Jet-Duplex from my linux
computer lappy. In OpenOffice, I select File -> Print but
cannot find the printer AOS-Fox. I log in as ambrish.
If you'd like to drop by, I'll be in my office for the next
hour but plan to have some lunch. I should be back at around
3pm. Please send me a zoom invite if it is easier.
Thanks,
Ambrish
