OnCall Services provides fee-based computer support to individual faculty, staff, and students, as well as to University departments who need occasional or one-time support. Our staff will come to your campus office, or for a reduced fee you can bring your computer to our campus offices.
OnCall Services is a great way for departments to supplement existing support staff during vacations and other leaves, or to handle special projects. For small groups that don’t need full-time support, we can offer scheduled or pre-arranged occasional support in your office. For faculty, staff, and students, OnCall Services offers a cost-effective way to get expert computer assistance from highly knowledgeable technical staff who understand Stanford’s unique computing environment.
