Available 24/7 but please note that the service is provided by ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûHelpdesk during business hours in term-time and by our out-of-hours support service (called NorMAN) the rest of the time, ie:

  • ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûHelpdesk - During term-time, Monday to Friday: 8:30am to 5:30pm
  • NorMAN - Weekdays: 5:30pm to 8:30am and Weekends, College Closures and Bank Holidays (24 hours)

NB: 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 helpdesk for investigation during normal opening hours.


Email support

Where possible please email IT Services from your ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûemail 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 oneÌýbusiness day so emails should be for queries that do not require an immediate response.
