Need your computer repaired? Our Electronic Repair Service Center is here to provide service for our Campus Community. We have certified technicians that are very proud of their 24-48 hour turn around times. They also can do all the warranty work on Apples and Dell's that are purchased through our Campus Computer Store.

We have had many requests to work on home computers, so we have started to do both hardware and software for a minimal charge. This service is available to all students, staff, faculty and emeriti at very reasonable prices.
