    The request ticket will open. There are four boxes that are required to be filled in. If the user is logged into the computer with their Active Directory Account, Name & Department/School, Extension, will automatically appear. Fill out BLDG-Room Number, Subject and Description. An alternative Contact Number can be filled in if you would like to be contacted at a different number or extension than you are assigned.

    The description should include the computer name (instructions on finding the computer name at the end of this document) & describe the problem that needs to be resolved.

    For example, PowerPoint is not working on my computer. Describing the exact problem and being detailed is always very helpful and may help in getting a faster resolution.

It will be forwarded to the proper department if necessary.
