Technology and Computing

Because each user request is unique to the complex organizational structure with two independent entities and networks (UAB and HSIS), we recommend contacting DOM IT first for custom-tailored technological assistance. We will gladly assist you to ensure that you are properly set up for remote access and, when necessary, we will also work with UAB IT and/or HSIS for enterprise-level access that is often required for remote connection.

Below are different ways of contacting DOM IT, with email being the preferred method:

• E-mail (preferred): domhelp@uab.edu

• Phone: 205.975.4357 (975-HELP)

• Remote Work Website: https://support.dom.uab.edu/index.php?/News/NewsItem/View/10/working-remotely
