ITS cannot repair any personal devices.

Are you getting an error message trying to access your myBU account? Your email account? Is Microsoft Teams preventing you from sharing your screen? Do you need to reserve your equipment to film your BUFF movie?

While you can visit the IT Helpdesk on the 1st floor of the Library Learning Commons, you can also reach us by phone and through our Octopus ticketing system.

Students can print on and off campus by sending their documents to the Follow Me printers. Printing can be done from the campus workstations or from your personal devices.

Printing requires “Gaiter Dollars” that can be added on your account online. Visit the “Adding Gaiter Dollars Online” support page to learn how. You can also visit the Paterson front desk for assistance with adding money to your account.

To learn more about printing @ Bishop’s visit the “Printing, Photocopying, & Scanning” support page.

Just finished writing that big assignment that you need to hand in early next morning? Send it to print directly from home with WebPrint! It’ll be ready to be released from any of the Xerox photocopiers on campus the next morning.
Documents sent through the myprint portal will stay pending until they are relased or after a 24h period.

To learn more about sending documents from home and printing them out once you arrive on campus, visit our “Using Web Print” support site.

All the computer labs workstation have the 4 FollowMe printers installed. Simply select the one that suits your need when you wish to print your documents from a lab computer.

Choose the right printer for you:

Please, note that you cannot change these printing options by changing the printing’s setting. To print something in color and single-sided you need to select the right printer rather than change the settings when you seend your job to the printer.

Documents sent through the FollowMe printers will stay pending until they are released or after a 24h period.

How to retrieve your documents from any Xerox photocopiers:

Do you wish to setup your default MFA method to the more secure and easier to use mobile app method? Did you recently change phone and can no longer validate your logins?

Visit our “Office 365 – Multi-factor Authentication” support page to learn how to set, modify, or reset your MFA method.

Students can access Bishop’s Wi-Fi (WIZABU) with their BU credentials.

Some devices, such as gaming consoles and smart speakers (Alexa, Google Assistant, etc) cannot connect to WIZABU. These will need to be connected through a wired connection.
