Special Request
Training
If your department or small group would like a training
session
exclusively for yourselves, let us know and ITS Training
Services will help you locate technology training
opportunities on campus or off-campus. If ITS Training is
able to design training for your group, it can be held at your
location or ours. For more
information about fees/rates for special training,
contact ITS Training Services. If your group isn't large enough for a special
workshop of your own, give us a call to see if we know of
others with similar training needs and interests.
