Contact the IT Service Desk

When contacting the IT Service Desk, please have the following information ready to assist us with your query:

• your UWE Bristol username and/or student number
• your UWE Bristol computer name and if it is a printer problem the serial number of the printer
• details of the problem including any error messages, screenshots, and when it last worked.

'Personal devices' can be defined as any devices that are not owned and managed by UWE Bristol.

We can offer limited help to students and staff for issues with the personal devices that you use for your work and studies. We can't guarantee that all devices will be compatible with our network and services, or that they will meet our security requirements.

We're happy to support and offer guidance in:

• connecting to eduroam (the UWE Bristol wifi network)
• supporting the installation and launching of software delivered by UWE Bristol systems (including AppsAnywhere, MECM and JamfPro) on compatible devices
• issues with Blackboard/UWE Bristol remote learning tools
• remote access to UWE Bristol business systems
• UWE Bristol accounts and security
• Printing university work via the Printme service.

Unfortunately, we're unable to offer support for:

• hardware troubleshooting on non-UWE Bristol provided devices
• personal security/antivirus applications
• accessing personal data/passwords
• home wifi and networks
• issues with software related to your operating system and/or the software provider. For example, conflicts with other software (including previous versions) or hardware, making registry changes, installing software not provided by UWE Bristol, or supporting how to use the software itself
• software that has not been provided by UWE Bristol
• the installation of operating systems on any personal device
• support of devices without admin access or managed by other IT departments.
