Help Desk
The Information Technology Help Desk provides assistance to Southeast Tech faculty, staff, and students in the use of technology. If your request is better handled by someone with more expertise in a particular area, Help Desk staff members will refer you to the appropriate technical contact. No appointment necessary.
The primary function of the Help Desk is to assist students, faculty, and staff with computer technology issues. We do not offer assistance to students regarding class or computer programming assignments.
What To Expect After Initial Call
- A work order will be created and an email will be sent to the customer containing a work order number and priority status.
- An attempt will be made to solve the problem during first contact.
- If the problem cannot be resolved, an IT staff member will be dispatched to resolve the problem.
- If the problem requires outside resources, more time may be needed to resolve the problem.
- After resolution of the problem, an email will be sent to the customer outlining the steps taken to solve the problem. Along with that will be a short feedback form for the customer to complete and send back to IT. Please note: The feedback form will be used to improve the process of serving our customers.
