OIT Knowledge Base

The OIT Knowledge Base is a terrific self-help resource that is available 24 hours a day 365 days of the year. OIT and other CMU staff members categorize, create, and maintain the content and customize whatever need be specifically for CMU users. Some content is publicly available, but the majority requires a sign in using a CMU Global ID and password. The search tool is a great way to find what you need in a hurry.
