In response to COVID-19, the University of North Alabama has shifted to a remote/online instructional environment effective immediately (see here for the full details and announcement). Therefore, the ITS Helpdesk is now available for assistance via email (helpdesk@una.edu). You can contact us at this email for assistance with password resetting or to answer any questions you may have. During this time we strive to be as responsive as possible.  However, there may be a slight delay in our response as we attempt to help all student, faculty, and staff with remote instruction and administration needs.  Please be assured that we will work to respond to your requests as quickly and effectively as possible.

In addition, the following resources are available in order to make the remote/online environment as effective as possible:
