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:
Paper-based Method
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.
You can either contact the AVIT facilitator directly by e-mail, or contact the church HUB, which in turn, will contact the AVIT faciliator.
