Need Help?
The Office of Information Technology (OIT) is here to help you with a wide range of technology needs. The most effective way to get help is creating a ticket in the OIT Technology portal for both students and employees across the state. You can call 208-885-HELP assistance. If you are unable to get in touch with support staff, please leave a message. Alternatively, you can email support@uidaho.edu with a description of your request. In both cases, a ticket will be created, and you will receive an email with the ticket number on it.
You can also find many answers to your questions in the OIT Knowledge Base. There you will find articles on a variety of topics that will walk you through solving problems with step-by-step instructions. Knowledge base articles are constantly being updated and articles are added as processes and technologies change.
If you have already requested service from OIT, you can check the status on your request by logging in to the OIT Technology portal, and clicking on “My Tickets”. You must be logged into the portal with your university account to see your tickets. You can change the search selection to look for past tickets or refine your search based on your needs.
