Premium ResNet Service

What is premium ResNet service?
Premium ResNet service is an option any North Central College student can utilize when they encounter a computer problem or need not supported by standard ResNet services.

How much will I be charged for premium ResNet service?
One voucher will cost $25.00 payable by cash or check only. This non-refundable voucher is good for any computer problem that takes less than 1 hour to fix (this is the case the majority of the time). Vouchers can be purchased at the helpdesk of ITS located in Carnegie Hall.

What are some examples of what premium ResNet service does?
Here is a side-by-side comparison of PRS and standard ResNet

What is a PC tune-up?
Like a car a computer needs to be taken care of and took to a professional from time to time. Have you noticed that the longer you have your computer the slower it seems to be? Have you ever installed software and then realized that it was not what you had hoped for? Have you installed peer-to-peer file swapping programs? All of these factors are related, the reason your computer is performing less than optimal is because it can be bogged down with loaded software and often P2P programs (such as Kazaa) install software you don’t even know about. The PC tune-up aims to increase the speed of your computer. The technician will also scan your computer for any signs of viruses with the most up to date antivirus software and recommend any upgrades that may also increase the overall effectiveness of your computer.
