Getting Help
If you cannot gain access to the residence hall network after reviewing the
documentation above, please contact the
IS Technology Support Center by phone at 816.235.2000 or email at
TechSupportCenter@umkc.edu.
At the Technology Support Center, technicians can assist you in troubleshooting the nature of the
problem and quickly find the solution or walk you through the
resolution of the problem. If not, the Technology Support Center works
closely with other IS departments to escalate the call to a
second-tier support technician. This level of support is
responsible for ensuring your personal computer in use at the
Residence Hall is able to securely access network resources.
In doing so, we can assist with issues involving data jack
connectivity, security patch installation, virus removal, system
stability and other activities that directly affect your ability
to get online. For other types of
computer repair issues,
you are advised to use any service and support plan that was
purchased with the computer or any number of
local companies
specializing in these types of fix-on-fail services.
