Reason for Reporting Computer Lab Problems
It is important to contact the AVIT department whenever there is a problem encountered in the Westminster Computer Lab.
For example, if there is a hardware problem, failure to report the problem just delays the problem being fixed, and becomes someone else's problem...
Procedure For Reporting a Computer Lab Problem
If you discover a problem in the Computer Lab, you should inform the AVIT department. Please do NOT inform an individual, since the AVIT facilitator is best suited in notifying the best volunteers/professions to solve the problem in a timely and cost-effective manner.
There are a number of methods to contact AVIT:

AVIT Computer Service Forms are available in the computer lab (located in a folder on the bulletin board). A pen should be clipped onto the folder to help complete the form. Simply, fill out an AVIT Computer Form, and hand the form to the church HUB.
