How do I report an issue?
While IT uses automated monitoring services that often alert us to a problem before it is widespread, sometimes you will notice an issue before we have a chance to address it. If you experience a problem, please call the IT Help Desk at 219.464.5678. If all Help Desk staff members are unavailable, you will be directed to our voicemail. Please leave a message with as much detail as possible so that we can follow up appropriately. Information like your name, a call back phone number, specific error messages, your location on campus, the VU tag number of your computer, and other pertinent details will be very helpful to us as we investigate the problem.
...
If you are calling after the Help Desk has closed, please leave a voicemail and we will address the problem once we re-open.
