Remote Assistance

Remote support tools allow GW Information Technology support staff access to your computer to provide technical assistance remotely. A GW IT support staff member will provide a unique Session Key for each request and instructions for use to initiate the remote support session.

The use of this software for any purposes other than technical support services offered by GW IT and its partners, is prohibited. These tools do not allow unattended access to GW Faculty and Staff computers; all remote support connections and privileges are initiated by the customer.

Technology Service Teams

GW IT has 7 Technology Service centers to that work together to support departments across campus. Each team is responsible for primary support of a set number of departments and colleges on campus. These teams work together, using a Technology Shared Services model, to make sure the GW community is supported. If you have a technology need beyond standard technical support you can request a technology consult.
