Submit a Support Request Ticket to the IT Team

Benefits of Submitting a Ticket

With the Ellucian Cloud Project well under-way, the volume of support/work requests has increased with supporting the project as well as on-going support with existing Kettering technology. We request your assistance with helping us best serve YOU and your team!

Submitting an email to create a Support Request Ticket has the following benefits:
  1. Your request builds a Knowledge Base for the team to troubleshoot and resolve reported issues
  2. When the primary team member is unavailable other team members will attempt to assist with your request
  3. Creating a ticket helps with preventing "lost" requests buried in email and chat
  4. With the Ellucian Cloud project in progress, if you are providing testing of the cloud environment, please provide all information within your Enterprise Systems Testing ticket so we can track all encountered issues and report as appropriate to Ellucian
  5. Please do not contact IT Team members directly through Email, Chat, or Phone unless you are working together on an existing project or open support request. Submitting an email/ticket negates your request getting lost in inboxes or chat streams.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Geoff Marsh or Jon Conquest.

**Note: The IT Help Desk will move requests/tickets between the IT Operations and IT Applications team as appropriate.
