Requesting Help

If the help pages do not provide the information you need, you can request help by opening a trouble ticket, using either email or a web interface. Be sure to include all relevant details, such as your HawkID, the location and type of computer you are using, the names and versions of any software and operating systems involved, and the date and time the problem occurred. If the problem involves a computer managed by the CLAS Linux Group team, then also include the name of the computer.

Using the Web Interface

To open a trouble ticket via the web interface, go to https://request.divms.uiowa.edu/ (restricted to on-campus access or VPN only).
