For your safety, only follow steps 6-8 while in direct communication with a Biola IT Helpdesk technician

Immediate Assistance: Call the IT Helpdesk at 562-587-8290 and ask to set up a Zoom support session. Please note that during peak support times, like the beginning of a semester, this option may be limited. Consider a remote support appointment instead.
Remote Support Appointment: To sign up for a remote support appointment, please see our Tech Support Appointment Calendar, select the Remote Technical Assistance Calendar, and select a day/time. You will receive an email inviting you to the remote support session, along with a Zoom meeting link. If you're unable to open Zoom, please note it in your appointment and give us a contact phone number. We will call you at your scheduled appointment time and connect to your computer using Chrome Remote Desktop.
