Reporting a problem to the Help Center
You may report a problem by calling 860.486.4357 (select option 3), by e-mail: helpcenter@uconn.edu, by submitting a problem ticket through self help, by leaving a voicemail, or by walk-in. When you report a problem to the Help Center it gets recorded into our Problem Management System and if necessary, referred to the appropriate service partner for resolution. This allows the analyst and customer a means of keeping track of the call and the progress towards resolution. If you need to call us back in regards to your original problem then please reference the problem ticket number you were originally given or the one you created through self help.
Hot Issues
From time to time the Help Center may receive a problem which may affect multiple people (such as a server outage, network connectivity problem, unavailability of an application or system, power outage, etc.). The Help Center follows a high priority standardized procedure of documenting the problem and making sure the appropriate people are contacted to resolve the problem and/or issues.
This procedure includes updating the system status voicemail and updating the UITS systems page (see: http://itstatus.uconn.edu). This heightened level of support help to provide excellent customer service and follow through so that you, the customer, are always informed when we experience outages that may affect you.
