Student Computing

There is no doubt that as we enter the 21st Century, students on America's college campuses have the world at their fingertips in a way never before known. Mount Aloysius College, in keeping up with technological advances, offers a phone connection with voicemail and a connection to the campus network in each dorm room.

Telephone and Voicemail
Each semester the Student Affairs office submits a list of names, rooms, and extensions to the IT Helpdesk for all voicemail to be cleared and prepared for the next semester. Throughout the semester if there are any room changes, notification must be given to the Help Desk so that voicemail can be cleared and prepared for that student. If you are experiencing difficulty or have any questions regarding voicemail or telephone services, please contact the Helpdesk at (814)886-6502, helpdesk@mtaloy.edu or drop by Main 327 during regular business hours.
