Frequently Asked Information Technology Questions
  • Here is a list of questions readers have asked us to post. If you have questions you would like to see answered here, please send your comments to the College Webmaster.
  • Q: How to send or open a zip file through email
  • A: To send or receive a zipped file through our email security system, follow these steps:
    1. Using a program such as Winzip or Filezip, compress the files into a zipped file.
    2. Then zip them again and add a password.
    3. The scanning program can read a zipped files table of contents, so you must double zip the file and encrypt it.
  • Q: Who to call when you need help in a classroom?
  • A: For College of Business classrooms, call extension 4387. 
        The Helpdesk is staffed at 8:00 AM each morning.  While there may be some gaps in
        coverage during the day due to class schedules, but whenever possible, someone is there
        to help solve your problem.
  • Q: There are no phones in the classroom, how do I call for help?
  • A: While we would like to have telephones in the class rooms, installing new phones on Tech
        campus is extremely expensive, so we recommend a creative solution---get the students to help.
        Chances are someone in the class has a cell phone.  If you don't have a cell phone yourself,
        ask one of the students with a cell phone to call 257-4387 for you.
