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
