help desk

The Fairleigh Dickinson University Technical Assistance Center (UTAC) serves as the primary help desk for all university technology-related support. Students, Faculty, and Staff can easily reach out to UTAC through the SAMI Support portal, email, or phone for assistance with application software, desktop setups, peripheral devices, network issues, password management (such as for Microsoft 365), and configuration support for hardware and software.
