Make a Copy

IT Access and Assistance

All faculty, staff and graduate students are given access to email, phones, computers and copiers upon arrival at Ohio State. For your convenience, the department has multifunction devices (scan/print/copy/fax) located in Denney Hall rooms 421 and 572. For conservation purposes, all instructors are encouraged to utilize, as much as possible, Carmen for teaching and BuckeyeBox for research. Please use your full employee ID number to access department copiers. To support teaching, research and service, the department has provided the following annual copy allocations:

Program Directors and Professional Staff receive an annual allocation sufficient to meet their administrative responsibilities. All copy allowances will be reset each year on July 1. Anyone exceeding the annual allowance will need to request more by emailing the Administrative Manager (Wayne Lovely) a brief rationale (150 words or less) detailing the necessity and specific research, teaching, or business purpose for the additional request.  If copy usage greatly exceeds the maximum allocation, the cost may be discounted from the individual’s travel/research allowance either in the current year or the following year.

For assistance with the department copiers, please contact the front desk staff in 421 Denney Hall in person, by phone (292-6065) or by email. Please see Copier/Scanner Procedure [pdf] for more information.

For all other IT assistance (computers, wireless access, etc.) please contact the College of Arts and Sciences Technology Services by phone at (614) 688-4447, by email or by visiting Denney Hall room 0006 (basement).
