Departmental computer contacts are the first point of contacts for users who need help with computers. They are a vital link between the small number of CLAS IT staff and over nine hundred faculty and staff, and several thousand students in the college. All departments and centers have a contact. If you do not know yours, please speak with your office manager, chair, or director.
Some departments in CLAS have their own computing staff and resources, and may not use all CLAS IT services. You should check with the IT staff in Academic Advising, Biology, Astronomy, Chemistry, Physics, or Psychology for information on their systems.
Trouble Ticket Management
Departmental contacts will be the first to respond to computer trouble reports, and will perform some immediate steps to see if they can resolve the problem. If they are unable to resolve the issue, they will enter the problem into our trouble ticket system.
- Add, Terminate, or Update CLAS IT access (personnel changes)
- Add, Delete, or Update a computer in the CLAS IT DHCP database
- Service Request (for any other request)
- Check on a Ticket – view a current ticket’s status in myIT.
