From the IT Newsletter

Returning to campus from a long break might not be easy, and getting back to your work routine might feel difficult, especially if you experience IT-related issues. 

We want to make sure you know what steps to take and who to contact if you run into any of the common issues listed below: 

  • Network connection problems 
  • Phone systems not on
  • Printers are offline
  • Unable to log in to systems due to password issues 
  • Monitors not working properly
  • Missing peripherals
  • Missing furniture
  • Office relocation

In any of the cases listed above, you’ll want technical assistance. You can request this support by calling the IT Service Desk at 512-223-TECH/8324, visiting the Information Technology Website and clicking on Submit a Ticket, or submitting a Technical Service Request here > ACC Service Request Form.

Please make sure your equipment and logins are in working order. This will help the IT support team facilitate requests in a timely manner.

Prioritization: IT will prioritize student-facing service requests and classroom preparation requests. The technicians will then process all faculty/staff requests in the order they are received as we know the volume will be heightened with everyone returning slowly back to campus.

For all new hires: Domain credentials are required. Managers and supervisors should submit a New User Login Request form. For a step-by-step guide on how to submit a New Hire Request Form, click here.

For IT Software New/Renewal requests: Please submit them via this form. 

For IT Hardware New/Replacements requests (Emergency Replacements due to hardware failure and/or New Hire/New Positions): Please submit them via this form.
