Winter is here, the fall semester is over; time to rest, relax, catch up on things that were put aside, and generally take a break from what had become your routine these past few months. The following information should help you plan your activities if you need/want to access campus computing facilities over the break.

The Helpdesk will maintain normal hours through most of the break.
