Desktop Support
IT Client Services (IT CS) Contact
The recommended option for IT/computer support is to call the IT CS help desk.
IT CS support can be reached at 510-664-9000, option 1 (this is 4-9000 from a campus line). IT CS phone support technicians are very helpful and can work with you by even accessing the machine you are working on directly (with your approval, of course). If they are not able to resolve the issue, they will create and forward the ticket to the appropriate group. This also helps speed up the process over the standard email-to-ticket-creation method.
Alternatively, you can submit a Service Now IT Request ticket. Average response time is 3 days.
