Emergency, After Hours, or Holiday Requests

If your request is an emergency, after hours, or on a holiday, contact the DoIT Help Desk (help@doit.wisc.edu). The Help Desk is available via phone, email, and live chat. 

If there is an outage or degraded service, the Help Desk will post an outage and escalate the status of the request with the Shared Tools team. Help Desk representatives will follow an internal escalation process. This includes notifying the the lead technologist(s) and the service coordinator.

Note:  The Shared Tools team primarily responds during normal business hours. Outages, degraded service, and emergencies are addressed on an as-needed basis. After being notified of a service disruption the Shared Tools team will make a best effort attempt to restore services as quickly as is feasible and provide updates on the status of the request.
