Campus Help Desk Support:

Business hours: The Campus Help Desk is available by phone from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, Saturday through Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. at 581-4000. For each unique request the user will be given a service ticket number for tracking purposes. You are responsible to record your ticket number so you can later make reference to the call. Using the ticket number you may call back any time during regular business hours and receive the current status of your ticket and who has been assigned to the problem. The customer will be notified when a ticket is closed.

After hours support: Help is available for “Urgent” and “High” priority requests on weekends and after-hours (10:00 p.m. to 7 a.m.). Please contact the Help Desk at 581-4000 and leave a voicemail explaining the nature of the problem, why it is of “Urgent” or “High” priority (see table below) and provide a phone number where you can be reached. The system automatically pages the Help Desk support person who is on call. The “on call” support person screens the message and normally contacts the caller within 30 minutes to let him or her know that the request has been received and to get more information, if necessary. If the support person is already addressing a problem, they may not be able to reply in 30 minutes, but will instead change the phone message to direct users to a web page where they can obtain information on the status of the problem.
