IT Help Desk

The Mt. SAC IT Help Desk is your primary contact to request assistance with all of your technology needs.  We are ready to handle a wide range of calls related to hardware (PCs, Macs, printers), software (Microsoft Office, Adobe), and specialized applications used at Mt. SAC (Banner, Canvas, Argos, OnBase).

You can contact the IT Help Desk via online self-service portal (https://helpdesk.mtsac.edu), via email to helpdesk@mtsac.edu, and by phone at extension 4357 (HELP) from an on-campus phone or (909) 274-4357 (HELP) when calling from off campus.  For urgent issues, please call the IT Help Desk.

The Help Desk is also your primary contact to follow up on open issues (please have your ticket number available), to schedule installations or moves, or request access to additional Mt. SAC IT services.
