Frequently asked questions from Faculty/Staff/Adjuncts

The IT Department uses a work order system (SpiceWorks) for all technology requests, except for emergencies. Simply email IT@clinton.edu to initiate a work order. This expedites request processing, allows for future development of tools, and provides information for future training requirements for the Faculty and Staff.

Software requests for academic rooms are typically viewed as project based, so please consider requesting this between semesters to allow plenty of time to meet your requirements. The Vice President of Academic Affairs needs to approve this request.

Faculty and Staff are afforded the opportunity to use Microsoft 365 which enables access to your documents and software. This service provided by the college, provides the ability to download 4 copies of Microsoft Office to personal devices (PCs, tablets, phones, Apple products), as long as you are an employee of the college. Microsoft Access is not available on Chromebooks or Apple products currently. 

After logging into the Microsoft 365 portal (office.com), a link is located in the upper right hand corner of the screen to allow downloading of software. 

We use Microsoft Exchange for our email system. Typically the information you need is your username, our domain name of clinton, and the name of the incoming/outgoing mail server of mail.clinton.edu. We use a secure site.
