Support Levels

Support Levels

Though it is strongly encouraged that the guidelines for fully supported
hardware/software be followed, it is recognized that there are times when
this is not feasible. Therefore support is categorized as described below.

Level 1 - Full Support

All pertinent services will be provided leading to quicker problem
resolution and turnaround time

Level 2 - Partial Support

Recommended and supported hardware running software NOT noted as
supported. In such a case, hardware will be supported to the extent
possible but not to such length as to assure software problem resolution.
The hardware will be supported to the extent that fully
supported/recommended software works properly.

Level 3 - No Support

Software NOT noted as supported. Hardware purchased after August 1st, 1998
NOT noted as supported.

Off-Campus PC's

Please note that I.T. provides only limited support of St. Edward's-owned
computers that are housed off-campus. I.T. offers phone support for such
computers - assuming the hardware and software are within the supported
lists - and the Help Desk will make every effort to resolve issues over the
phone.
