IT Support Services

Landmark College ensures that everyone has equitable access to digital resources and opportunities

Information Technology Services (ITS) at Landmark College aims to provide leadership in the planning and management of college-wide technology-related services and resources.  

Our support staff facilitates the effective use of assistive, instructional and administrative technologies, and plans, manages, and grows the technology infrastructure in support of the College’s needs. 

ITS consists of three student-friendly areas: 

The Help Desk 

The Help Desk staff are a skilled, friendly team rich in patience and humor. Students are offered support for:  

  • Email 
  • Internet & network connectivity 
  • Mobile device synchronization 
  • Network printing 
  • Software installations 
  • Wireless access 
  • Password retrieval & reset 
  • Laptop repair services (see below for more information) 

Laptop Repair Services

Lenovo Repair

The Help Desk is staffed by certified Lenovo ThinkPad technicians. Necessary repairs on a Landmark student’s notebook purchased through the Landmark College Student Computer Package (see below) can be performed in-house, with typically a quick (24 – 48 hour) turnaround time. Should a notebook purchased through the program need to be left at the Help Desk for troubleshooting or repair, a loaner notebook can be provided, so you can get back to work immediately. If you bring a personal Lenovo ThinkPad with an accidental damage warranty, the Help Desk can repair your machine, but is unable to offer you a loaner notebook.

Other Repairs

If you bring a personal computer, the Help Desk is unable to offer any hardware repair work on campus as we are not certified to work on other machines. In the event that you need repairs, you would need to work with the manufacturer. For Macs, there is a local company, Brown Computer Solutions 802-251-0479, which is an Apple Authorized Service Provider in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Location and Hours 

Help Desk is located on the 2nd floor of the Library. Students can bring their IT concerns to the desk Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. 

Students can contact the Help Desk at extension 6800, or 802-387-6800 off-campus, or techsupport@landmark.edu

While Landmark College recognizes the value of Apple computers, it does not provide technology support for them. The College offers extensive computer and assistive technology support that is often critical to students’ academic success both in and out of the classroom. To provide this level of support, and to maintain software consistency and availability, the College’s current policy is to standardize on a Windows-based platform only. Students who bring an Apple computer to campus can register for Internet access.

Software

We offer Landmark College alumni the ability to purchase assistive technology software at significantly discounted rates. Purchases may be made through the Landmark College Bookstore.

Our service agreement with Lenovo does not permit Landmark College’s Help Desk to troubleshoot or repair computers after students leave the College. If you need repair services on your laptop computer, please contact Lenovo directly:
