Information & Security Contacts

The Office of Information & Security (OIS) is located within the Colorado School of Mines IT Department and works with the campus community to increase the security of the campus information infrastructure, including the data network and connected hosts.

If you are currently experiencing a loss of service as a result of traffic from the Mines network, please call the IT Service Desk at 303-278-HELP (4357).

If you are not currently experiencing a loss of service, then the most appropriate way of contacting the Mines Office of Information & Security (OIS) is to use one of our email aliases. These aliases are monitored during business hours by OIS staff to ensure a timely response to your question or complaint.

For all security related questions or complaints, please use security@mines.edu.
