Technology Services

The Information Technology department is responsible for all facets of technology on campus. From lab computers to door access to online grades, Transylvania's IT staff strives to make the available technology efficient and easy-to-use.

We provide services to all students whether they live on campus, commute, or study abroad. Our helpdesk is available by phone (859-281-3593) or email (helpdesk@transy.edu) from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Attention, admitted students!
