Research Involving Human Subjects

Hello CAD Students, Faculty and Staff

During the Christmas break CAD Tech has been busy upgrading our online support ticketing system to a new platform.
This new platform offers us a variety of new and sleek features to better serve the CAD community.

• Online knowledge base. We will be building out the knowledge base with howto and troubleshooting tips and tricks
• Better email responses and tracking. The new emails look great and filled with great information
• Easy to use. This new system is a joy to use!

The old URL you have been using for years still works. http://CAD-helpdesk.rit.edu

We have also created a new easy to remember URL: http://helpdesk.CAD.rit.edu

Once you log into the new system you will be presented with this great interface to either searcg for a solution to your problem, or select a category and get help that way. This software will try to match up your request to documents in our Knowledge base that may help you solve the problem without having to wait for us! read more

You never know where it will happen or when it when it will strike.

Backup your data! In at least three places! On a USB, in the “Cloud’ Dropbox, Google Drive etc..
