ISD IT Services
The IT Services is the primary point of contact 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 IT Services.
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 IT Services.
How to use the online portal and accessibility options
Email support
Where possible please email IT Services 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 one business day so emails should be for queries that do not require an immediate response.
