Technical Support
Technical support for the the School of Computing Science is provided by the Computing Science Technical Support group (CSTS). Please contact us if you require support in the Computing Science Instructional Labs (CSIL) at the Burnaby or Surrey campuses, or for assistance on techincal issues of the School. For more details on contacting CSTS, click here.
IT services at all three SFU campuses are provided by Information Technology Services (ITS) of SFU; and our research infrastructure is supported by the Research Computing Group (RCG) (formerly known as the Network Support Group (NSG).
You may contact these groups directly, but we recommend you contact helpdesk of the School so we could keep provide better services.
