ITS Service Desk Support

The IT Service Desk should be your first point of contact for technical assistance. We are operating under a modified schedule, and not currently accepting walk-in customers without a scheduled appointment. Contact the Service Desk by sending an email to helpdesk@unca.edu or calling 828-251-6445.


What is it?

ITS offers technical support to faculty and staff with university-owned computers, peripherals, and software. Technical support is assistance with computer hardware and/or software that is not functioning correctly. Technical support is not training nor is it advice on application use. It is incumbent upon each individual to be knowledgeable about and familiar with the software they need to perform their job duties. Personal equipment cannot be serviced by ITS. 

When is it available?

Due to the pandemic, we are operating under a modified schedule, and not currently accepting walk-in customers without a scheduled appointment. Current hours are:

•  Monday – Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm

Email monitoring is used to assist users after hours, weekends, or holidays as available.  Voicemails left after hours, weekends or holidays will be returned the following business day.   The IT Service Desk Self-Service Portal is also available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The self-help portal will allow you to request assistance from ITS via a simple web form.
