New Help Desk Website

With the help of the Web Services Department the Help Desk has spent the last couple months building a new site for the Help Desk.  The goal of the site is to seperate support information into areas based on your affilition with the universtiy.  The site will primarly be broken into areas dedicated to Faculty/Staff, Current Students and Incoming Students very simliar to what you see on the main UCCS webpage.  As Faculty and Staff you will only see information and services that pertain to you. 

The new website goes live on Monday, July 23rd.  Please note - if you have web pages that directly link to any Help Desk web pages, you will need to update those links.  If you have any trouble finding the new page please let us know. 

Below is a preview of the Faculty and Staff support page.
