Laptop Support

Welcome to Clemson University laptop support. We are located in the CCIT Support Center on the 2nd floor of the Cooper Library.  Laptop support is responsible for software support for all student laptops and can perform hardware diagnosis and repair as an Authorized Service Center for Apple, Dell, Fujitsu, Lenovo and Toshiba laptops.

Note: "Netbooks" and "iPads" and other light-use portable computing devices are not a viable option as your primary laptop. Support for these devices is extremely limited and consists only of setting up the wireless configuration and installing anti-virus software as required.

Please see our support hours here. If you have any questions, please email ITHELP@clemson.edu or call the CCIT Customer Support Center at (864) 656-3494.
