Getting Help in Person

If you are absolutely new to the campus, either as a freshman or a transfer student, you will find that everyone is more than willing to help you...all you need to do is ask. Where? You can start at the reference desk in the Library. There are several computers located near the reference desk and when using them you will have ready access to a reference person. (personal experience, here!) On the third floor of the library next to government documents and the main stacks you will find a row of offices with staff that can assist you as well.

A great place to get help with your academic technology questions is the Academic Computing Center. There is a main desk as you enter the Computer Center, and the student consultants behind the counter are more than happy to help you with any computer/printer/scanner questions. They are also a great resource for any and all general questions regarding Evergreen, and are always pleased to help connect you with other campus resources!
