Supported Software for Students
Software support is provided only to undergraduate students who are using a computer purchased through UD’s Student Computer Initiative.
The Technology Support Services staff will provide assistance with issues related to any University- licensed software as well as other software applications available via http://software.udayton.edu (a full list of supported software is available from this site). Any other software applications (e.g., games, AOL Instant Messenger, etc.) are not supported.
One of the Technology Support Representatives (TSRs) will contact you to further troubleshoot the problem, and if necessary, make an appointment with you to come to your residence. You must be in your room with the TSR during the service call. All laptops must be brought into the walk-in help desk for support.
We will attempt to restore your system to working order, and will re-install any University-supported software as necessary. We will not re-install any software beyond this. We are not responsible for any data, files, or documents that may be lost in our attempts to assist you. It is YOUR responsibility to backup your data to a floppy disk, zip disk, CD, or network drive on a regular basis. Remember that you usually do not need to backup any Program Files (those can be restored), but you should backup the data, files, and documents that you have created.
