CFAES Help Desk now redirects to OCIO Self Service

As a reminder, the CFAES Help Desk website now redirects to the OCIO Self Service site at go.osu.edu/IT. You are likely familiar with using this site as a way to request help with certain services like email and password resets. You can use this site to submit tickets and order services for any IT issues.

Faculty and staff can use the OCIO Self Service tool to submit tickets for issues and order services. This allows both you and the IT Service Desk team to track your ticket, communicate with each other through one system, and help resolve issues in an efficient manner. You can learn more about the Self Service site by viewing the brief training module: Self Service Overview

The CFAES IT Help Desk website had some topics listed in a drop down menu to help categorize your requests. On the OCIO Self Service site, you can get help with any IT issues by submitting a ticket or ordering services that you need. To get started, log in to the site using the button on the right side of your screen.

Submit a Ticket
