About IT Support Services

To support UMR’s development into a focused institution that through collaborations will provide a distinctive educational experience and promote a research agenda to advance science and the science of education, an innovative and dynamic information technology infrastructure has been developed.  UMR is in a unique position to leverage the significant IT resources of the University of Minnesota’s Office of Information Technology (OIT), as well as the IT expertise found within the colleges of the Twin Cities campuses and the coordinate campuses.  Email, storage, virtual servers, remote system administration, and networking are all provided to UMR from OIT. 

UMR’s IT unit has focused on developing the IT infrastructure that needs to be provided on campus.  These services and support include a Laptop Program, an ITV/Classroom Support group, an Academic/Office support group, a Web/Software Development group, and a group that interfaces with OIT in regards to networking, storage, and telecommunications.
