Q. When I need help, why should I contact the service desk and not a technician directly?
A.
The Service Desk knows which technicians are in, and what the current work load of each technician is. If you call a technician directly, your problem may not be addressed promptly if the technician is out at that time. We have had cases of this happening and work orders needing immediate attention not getting resolved for a few days due to the direct call.

Q. How do Adjuncts get a voicemail account?
A.
Adjunct faculty must have an email account set up before they can apply for voicemail. Then the Adjunct Voicemail request form can be filled out and submitted. The voicemail account request form is located here.
