All about the CH!P

What´s  the CH!P?

 

The CH!P is the computer Helpdesk of the Harz University. It supports the students in their daily use with their PCs, notebooks, the computer labs and the corresponding printing system as well as the university network.   

 

Furthermore, CH!P members offer various courses on relevant topics from time to time.


What are the CH!P's tasks

 

The area of responsibility of the CH!P includes among others:

 

- Assistance with problems around PC, notebook and smartphone
- IT introductory courses

What to do in case of problems?

 

During the opening hours every student can visit the office in house 4, room 4.216. The CH!P team provides comprehensive, competent and friendly advice on any problem. Alternatively, the Service-Ticket-System  (STS) can also be used.   

 

If a problem cannot be solved immediately, it is possible to leave the relevant device at the office. After a successful troubleshoot, the student will be informed immediately.
