Information Technology
New to Rollins
Welcome to the Rollins College community! The mission of Information Technology is to help you use technology in ways that will increase your efficiency and effectiveness. We do that by providing a stable network environment, the appropriate hardware and software, easy ways to access your data, face-to-face and online training opportunities, and, most importantly, people. People who speak technical and non-technical lingo; people who understand academics and higher education administration; people who are committed to providing the best service to our clients that we possibly can.
Please call the Help Desk at 407-628-6363 with any technology problem or question. The Help Desk will direct your question to the right IT unit for resolution. If you experience any other difficulties, have an idea that you wish to discuss, or want to provide other feedback, please feel free to contact me directly.
Further information on our services can be found by following the link for new students or new faculty and staff.
Again, welcome to Rollins!

College Computers
Employees inherit the machine of the person they are replacing. Information Technology has a standard machine that we provide, but upgrades and changes to that machine are possible, with price differentials paid by the hiring department. Machines are replaced based on a technology cycle rather than after a specific time period.
