Computers are an essential tool for learning. At GovState, we have access to computers across campus – including the Academic Computing Services Lab where you find hardware, software, scanners, printers, and more – and access to help with just about every computer function you can imagine.
When you are admitted to GovState you can obtain a password and log on to MyGSU our campus portal. You’ll find important information such as system status updates, notices about scheduled maintenance, and even how to change a password.

- Location of computer
- The purpose of the call
- Name and affiliation with GovState (e.g., student, faculty, staff)

- The GovState Helpdesk consultant will ask detailed questions about software, network connection, and any errors
