Tips to help us help you quicker!:
To help us assist you more efficiently, please follow these tips when contacting the IT Service Desk:
-
When reporting a problem with your university computer, include the asset tag number and include any relevant error screenshots.
-
If emailing us from a personal email, please provide your full name and University username.

Please do not raise duplicate tickets - this can cause delays

Please try to avoid cc’ing the IT Service Desk into email chains – it means a ticket gets created each time!.
