Data Services staff are available to assist you directly. Help desk support is available at the hours below via Zoom:
- Mondays from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm
- Tuesdays from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm

If users access the help desk in the final few minutes, our team may have to schedule an appointment rather than provide on-the-spot consultation.
