Support within your reach
- Your School or Department IT Support Group
Each of Stanford’s seven schools and many of its auxiliaries and centers have a team that supports IT locally. If you don’t know who or where they are, ask a colleague or your department administrator — or ask University IT. - Local Network Administrators (LNA)
Your LNA acts as the contact person for network configuration and troubleshooting.
