How to Use the Self-Service Portal


UCF IT's Self-Service Portal offers a variety of IT-related services and information. The Web portal offers a place to submit tickets, review the status of tickets and find information on connecting to wireless, enrolling in multi-factor authentication and setting up Office 365 OneDrive for Business. Access to the Web portal requires a NID except to view the knowledge articles.

Initial Access

You may access the new UCF IT Support Center Portal in two ways through your Web browser:

From the initial Web portal page, several options are available, which might require you to login. From the navigation menu, select Login and then enter your UCF NID and password through UCF's Federated Identity page.

Web Portal Options

The main Web portal page offers six major options and a searching feature.

The options include

Report an Issue
something broken or not working properly, such as hardware or network not working, or software displaying error messages
Request a Service
browse through the service catalog to find what you need, such as installing or updating software, resetting your NID password, requesting card system door access or consultations
Report a Security Event

The searching feature allows you to type in keywords to help narrow down what you might be looking for, and it searches across the Knowledge Base and the service catalog for matches.

Reporting an Issue

To report an issue, click the Report an Issue option from the main menu.

You will be taken to the Categories screen for this type of ticket.

From this screen, you will select the most appropriate option. Each selection may have different fields that need to be completed in order to submit your ticket successfully. Follow the instructions and fill-in the necessary information to begin.

When you are finished entering the required information, click the Submit button.

Request a Service

To request a service, click the Request a Service option from the main menu.

Many categories exist, including access/security, administrative/business systems, communication/collaboration, equipment, data hosting/infrastructure, training and software/applications. Select the option that seems most appropriate.

After selecting a particular request item, provide the necessary information on the form in order to submit your ticket successfully. Follow the instructions to provide the necessary information to begin.

When you are finished entering the required information, click the Submit button. If you are creating multiple requests (purchase a printer and a computer) you can click the "Add to Cart" button and create the second item. Generally, you will only use the Submit button.
