Introduction to IT self-service and help

TLDRoffon

Our new self-service system enables you to raise new IT support tickets, request new services and find help and guidance in our knowledge FAQs. Watch our videos to see how this works.

Here we share videos showing how you can use IT self-service in your day to day working life as both a member of staff and a manager.  We will update and add to this video library when new functionality is made available.

Logging in

From 3 March you will be able to access IT self-service from servicedesk.gre.ac.uk and from the Quick Links bar on the portal, which is the black bar at the top of any portal page. It uses single sign-on, so you can log in with your university account.
