The Classroom Technology department is dedicated to providing quality support and services to our AV installations at USF. Classroom Technology designs, builds and supports the AV in classrooms, conference rooms, and other areas that require presentation technologies.
Requesting Support from Classroom Technology
The ITS Help Desk handles initial requests for urgent support while a class is in session. They will attempt to resolve your problem during the initial call. For any issue that can't be resolved immediately, the Help Desk will escalate to a Classroom Technology support specialist to be dispatched to your location.
We realize that phone calls need to be short during class, so please give your name, classroom, the nature of the problem, and state upfront that you are calling from a class so that we can get to you as soon as possible. Many common classroom issues can be resolved very quickly if you have time to stay on the phone long enough to clarify the issue.

All classrooms and conference rooms at USF are equipped with AV presentation technologies, and our environment is refreshed on a regular ongoing basis.
