Academic Computing Drop-in Sessions for Students and Staff<\/h1>\n

Do you have questions or issues related to academic computing at UoR and can’t find the answer in our documentation? Are you finding the Linux systems tricky to navigate or do you have any questions about them? Or perhaps you’d like us to show you in person how some things work?<\/p>\n

We are here to help! Come to one of our face to face drop-in sessions, where we will be around to offer informal help around all things academic computing related. Our sessions run every other week on Wednesday afternoons, see details for time & location below for the upcoming sessions. No appointment needed!<\/p>\n

More sessions will be added continuously and the schedule below is kept up to date.<\/p>\n
