Tech Squad onsite services are available to all students at UB. Off-campus locations are not serviced, but you are welcome to book an appointment to meet at our location in Silverman Library (inside Capen Hall).
I would like to meet with Tech Squad in person. Do I have to book an appointment to do this?
Yes, due to COVID-19 restrictions Tech Squad consultations are by appointment, and only at their location in Silverman Library.
My computer screen is cracked. Can Tech Squad repair this for me?
