The Office of Information Technology (OIT) is the central division that supports computing at Notre Dame. The OIT manages the products and services that you will use every day to complete tasks related to your studies and jobs.

Notre Dame provides students with an @nd.edu email account hosted by Google. Google also provides students with access to tools such as Calendar, Drive and Chat.

Each student living in undergraduate residence halls and graduate student residences has access to the internet via the eduroam wireless network, which is available throughout most of campus.

OIT has also partnered with major cellular telephone providers, including AT&T, Sprint/T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless, to provide enhanced coverage.

Printers are located in each residence hall, many computer labs and other key locations. Undergraduate students receive a print quota each academic year for printing on PrintND printers. Additional quota can be purchased if needed.

The OIT supports computer labs across campus. Students, faculty, and staff have access to these labs that contain both Windows and Mac computers, as well as virtual desktops that can be used to also access licensed software.

The Service Desk can provide assistance to students with computer questions, as well as questions about supported software applications, network configuration, operating system, file storage, etc. You can reach the Service Desk via phone at 574-631-8111 or email at servicedesk@nd.edu. It is located at 115 DeBartolo Hall.

An extensive knowledge base and self-service portal (servicenow.nd.edu) is also available 24/7. It can be used to find most answers to IT questions with the convenient search or automated chat feature.

Students and faculty can also take advantage of a variety of media services through Notre Dame Studios. These services include video streaming, video and audio production, virtual events and post-production services.

Audio Video Technologies works closely with the Office of the Registrar to design, build, and support technology- enhanced learning spaces on campus. There are many classrooms equipped with audio video systems that allow students, faculty and guests to present information from a variety of digital sources. Audio and video conferencing services are also available to students.

For classroom presentations or projects, students can check out a variety of audio-visual equipment (cameras, audio recorders, microphones, projectors, etc.) at no charge from the Service Desk.

Technology training classes and videos are available to students at no charge through the OIT on a wide range of software and applications.

In addition to mainstream computing services, the OIT, in partnership with Notre Dame Research, works with the Center for Research Computing (CRC) to support computationally intensive work, large dataset management, and data visualization for the undergraduate, graduate and campus research communities. The University provides access to national supercomputing and data resource facilities via Internet2. It provides high bandwidth access to about 200 leading research universities and supercomputing centers.

Anyone using Notre Dame computers and network resources must comply with guidelines set forth in the Responsible Use of Data & Information Technology Resources Policy.
