Getting Help

Ask for Help

Sending e-mail to gsithelp [at] u.washington.edu is the best method for getting help from GS-ITS. This method creates a request in our tracking system so we can ensure your question is addressed as quickly as possible. You should receive a confirmation by email that we've received your request within a few minutes. If you do not receive a confirmation or you would prefer to speak with us on the phone or in person, please call or stop by our office.

Request Creation Tips

1. Include your name, lab group, location, and phone number.
2. Clearly state the problem and when it started occurring. If you've received any error messages, include those.
3. On what system or systems does the problem occur?
4. If you've attempted to fix the problem yourself, let us know what you've tried.
5. How soon do you need the problem fixed? Does this problem impact a time sensitive project?

Request Escalation

If you feel your request is not being completed in a timely or correct manner, please contact Simon Hearsey, Director of IT Services. The IT Services Director reports to the Director of Admin and Finance, Paula Kassos.
