ISD Service Desk
The ISD Service Desk is the primary point of contact within ISD for queries about central IT services for all staff and students at UCL.
Self-service portal
Whatever your need, whether it's a request for help, to report an incident or request a new service, use the self-service portal. You can also view the status or update any of your open tickets logged with the ISD Service Desk.
Access the self-service portal
You will be required to log into the portal using your UCL user ID and password. If you do not know your user ID and password or experience difficulties logging into the portal, please telephone the ISD Service Desk.
How to use the online portal and accessibility options
Email support
Where possible please email the Service Desk from your UCL email account. This will ensure emails from our incident logging system will reach you to confirm your ticket reference etc.
We aim to respond to emails within 1 business day so emails should be for queries that do not require an immediate response
Phone support
Phone support hours (term time)
Monday-Friday: 8.30am-5.30pm
Out of hours phone support (NorMAN)
Our out of hours phone support service, called NorMAN, is available day and night all year round - including weekends, College Closures and Bank Holidays.
NorMAN can deal with a range of general IT queries but some services are not yet available, such as issuing phone registration codes or password codes . If your query can’t be resolved, a ticket will be raised and passed back to the ISD Service Desk for investigation during normal opening hours.
To contact NorMAN out of hours call the usual ISD Service Desk number.
