$197.28 - Alot of money, right?
Well if you're a student here at Indiana University that is how much you have already paid for your student technology fee. You might be thinking, "Gee, that seems pretty steep for IU Secure!" but what you don't know is that there are many other technological services available to you as an IU student!
Here's what's important:
1. IU HELP LINESNot a tech person? Lost on campus? That's okay, we're here to help! IU has two 24/7 help lines that are designed to answer any and all of your questions! Want to know when the next soccer game is? or maybe the number for Pizza X? ASK IU can help! Any IU or Bloomington related questions can be answered, all you have to do is dial - 812-855-IUIU (4848)
Feeling like....
...before you rip your hair out or throw your computer, call the IT Support Center!
IU secure not connecting in your dorm? Not sure how to connect your Xbox to the WiFi? The Support Center can help! Any technology related question can be answered by our staff. In person, on the phone, or online!
- Walk up support in Wells Library or the IMU
- Phone number: 812-855-6789
- Or live chat
These are great for any questions you might have whether it be tech related, or just a general question about IU. I use them all the time and they are very helpful!
2. BOX
Get rid of those lousy thumb drives and start saving your files in the "Cloud"! Box gives every IU student 50 GB of storage and is much more secure then those thumb drives that you forget in the computer labs. You can use this for personal storage or collaboration on group projects! Just log in using your IU User ID and pass phrase!
