From the Division of Information Technology’s Story Team
Is online life stressing you out? Between classes, calendars, and the endless scroll of the online world, who has time to worry about computer meltdowns or identity loss? At Kent State, you don’t have to. The Division of Information Technology is your go-to partner for seamless tech integration and support!
Worried about DATA BREACHES? At Kent State, you are required to use multi-factor authentication (MFA), a security measure that offers an additional level of protection for accessing your personal information and sensitive university data by requiring an additional form of identification at login.
Yes, it’s one more thing to click through before you’re logged in, but it is there for all our protection. A few extra seconds logging into Kent State applications is much better than hours of work recovering from data loss.
Speaking of cybersecurity, check out the SecureIT website, packed with information and tips to secure your HOME NETWORK, IDENTITY PHISHING FRAUDS, SPOT FAKE ACCOUNTS, and much more.
DoIT's support extends far beyond security. We are here to help you 24/7 to SUPPORT all your hardware and software related problems through our Live Chat feature. The Help Desk can assist you with all non-Canvas tech related issues.
If you need assistance with CANVAS, login to the Canvas application, click the Help button, then choose Chat with Canvas Support (Student) or Chat with Canvas Support (Faculty).
