Student Tech Support


Technology support for all Emory students

  • Configure EmoryUnplugged connectivity on capable laptops and personal devices
  • Assist with EmoryGuest connectivity on devices incompatible with EmoryUnplugged
  • Troubleshoot general operating system and software issues
  • Install or reinstall operating systems
  • Scan for and remove computer viruses and other types of malware
  • Uninstall programs that pose security risks to your computer, including P2P software
  • Install the latest hardware drivers for your machine
  • Diagnose hardware problems and assist with repairs

STS operates on a first-come, first-serve basis. Students will need to present their Emory Student IDs for verification when visiting for assistance.

Most support requests, such as EmoryUnplugged wireless setups or game console registrations, can be handled relatively quickly.

More complicated issues, such as virus and/or spyware removal, may require a computer to be checked-in for repair. All machines that are going to be dropped off/checked-in require a power cord. STS strives to remediate your computer within two to three business days. Serious issues may take longer.

Students are responsible for backing up their data before devices are brought in for support. STS is not responsible for any data loss. Please ask us if you need assistance with backing up data.

  • Windows 10 and up
  • macOS 10.11 and higher
  • Wireless setup for Linux, Android, and Apple iOS
  • Game consoles, eReaders, and other wireless devices for use in residence halls 
  • For any device not listed, STS will attempt to help, but cannot guarantee service
Note:
  • STS supports legitimate finished operating systems only (no pirated copies or beta builds)
  • STS supports only those networked devices that meet Emory's minimum security policies and will not work on prohibited devices produced by Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hikvision, and Dahua.
