Computing and IT

ESS IT services are in the process of being updated. The most up-to-date information can be found either on the ESS IT Ticketing website, or the ESS Comp Wiki website. If you have any questions, please contact .

To streamline support requests and better serve you, ESS IT utilizes a support ticket system. NOTE: due to staff shortages, the ticketing system is about a week out. If you have a time-sensitive request, please submit a ticket AT LEAST one (1) week in advance of when you need it done.

The ESS Wiki provides both general and detailed “how-to” information on ESS computing resources, such as using the large-format plotters, and how to sign out a laptop.
