Service Desk

When you need to talk to a technician, the Service Desk is the place to go. We handle computer, Internet, and Oak e-mail questions, trouble reports, repairs for both University and personally-owned computers, sales, password resets, virus recovery CDs, and disk repair, as well as providing expert technical advice on purchases and upgrades. We also are a factory-authorized warranty service center for Gateway and Apple computers.

E-mail Service Desk


You may e-mail support questions to servicedesk@ohio.edu.

*Limited telephone technical support is available around the clock, including student password resets, Internet port block resets, and outage reports. After-hours support staff are not trained to handle complex software or hardware questions; however, they will be glad to take a work order and forward it to the Service Desk the next morning.

Location

The Service Desk is located on the third floor of the HDL Center, on West Union street in Athens Ohio. Here's a map to help you find your way.

After Hours Coverage

If you call the Service Desk outside of our normal telephone support hours, you will be connected to the Computer Services Center's machine room operators. These staff members normally are available around the clock and can provide basic services like:

  • student password resets
  • Internet port un-blocks for both students and faculty/staff

    For other support requests, the machine room staff will enter a work order, and your problem will be addressed by the next available Service Desk technician. Please note that response times may vary, depending on the number of pending support requests.

    For major outages, the machine room staff are authorized to page the on-call technician at any time, day or night.
