IT Service Desk

If you have a problem with or question about one of our applications, you should first visit our Guides section for advice. If you are unable to find an answer from these pages, please raise a ticket in our Online Helpdesk system, or you can send an email to servicedesk@qmul.ac.uk. You will need a QMUL account to raise your query.

You can also phone the IT Service Desk on 020 7882 8888. See ways to contact the Service Desk on the ITS Support page.

Once you have raised your query you will receive a ticket number. An IT Services Service Desk Analyst will pick up your ticket within 24 hours and investigate the issue. If they are not able to resolve the issue for you, the IT Analyst will escalate your ticket to second-line support.

Our second-line support is a dedicated Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) specialist who will be able to resolve most TEL functional and administrative queries (see below). However, if second-line is not able to resolve the issue, the ticket will be escalated to either third line technical support, or third line TEL support. Tickets at third-line support generally require more investigation or may require an appointment with a member of our team. Some tickets at this stage may be unresolvable in the short term and may need development work.
