Reporting issues and troubleshooting
The IT Service Desk is here to help! You can access support 24 hours a day via the IT Service Portal (serviceUON).
Self help
IT skills are a staple in the modern workforce, so we encourage you to develop yours while at university.
The IT Services Knowledge Base within serviceUON has a range of self-service resources, including helpful tips, how-to videos, and information about IT tools and services, such as Microsoft Office 365 and Zoom.
If you are new to using our Knowledge Base, start here with the information about IT tools and services student welcome page.
If you can't find what you need, or find an article that is outdated, please submit a development/update of a Knowledge Base Article request form.

When logging a job through the IT Service Portal, please provide a detailed description of your issue including the system you are working on, your location, if you are aware of others experiencing similar issues, plus any error messages. This can help us diagnose your situation quickly and accurately.
