Troubleshooting basics

Printers and Computers

Please restart all Printers and Technology Devices as the first step in correcting any issue. Many times just restarting a Technology device can lead to a resolution.

Make sure all devices are correctly plugged in. Even one unplugged cord can mean the difference between working and not working

 

Logging into Accounts

A users should first reset their password at our Password Reset Page to see if their password has expired. A Philadelphia University password expires every 90 days and is the main cause of not being able to sign into university accounts such as Blackboard, Webadvisor, and Email.
