Susquehanna’s spring 2021 semester begins Jan. 25, as planned; however, the first two weeks will be remote for everyone to ensure the safety of our community. After the first two weeks, residential students will have staggered move-in dates and commuter students can resume on-campus instruction.

The university will continue to offer courses in a variety of ways to ensure a safe and engaging learning environment. Visit our schedule changes, safety measures and COVID-19 dashboard for more information.

We are in the process of developing a plan to offer COVID-19 vaccinations for students, faculty and staff. More information to come as SU continues to work with our partners in the state and the medical community.

To maintain a safe environment, the Office of Information Technology will remain closed to walk-ins. If in-person assistance is needed, an appointment must be made with one of our technicians.  All requests should be submitted directly to the Help Desk via email or phone. You may view existing requests at susqu.teamdynamix.com/TDClient. Please refrain from emailing individuals directly to prevent delays in service. 

*If we do not answer your phone call, please leave us a brief voicemail with your first & last name, reason for calling, and contact information and someone will be in contact with you as soon as possible. Your voicemail will also create a ticket in our system. We appreciate your patience during this time as our call volume will be higher than usual. 

When the warm weather returns, we anticipate re-opening our popular Outdoor Help Desk as we had in the Fall (appointments are not necessary for the Outdoor Help Desk).
