Staff Support
ICT Customer Services teams provide staff with a central area where IT queries can be resolved in a reliable and efficient manner. They are your first point of contact and will offer help by phone, email, in person and via Remote Control.
ICT Customer Services are your first point of contact and they will log a call for you and prioritise the call depending on the impact on the University. Calls logged are in the range of High, Medium or Low. The aim is to resolve all fault calls within 5 days. ICT Customer Services are unable to give details on when a call can be completed.
Once a call is logged for you, ask for the incident number or wait for the auto-email providing you with the call incident number. Taking a note of this number will make it easier to find your call should you wish an update.
When on campus a staff member can also log their own incidents by going to http://www.servicedesk.uws.ac.uk
