After Hours Support
CITS has expanded campus Help Desk services to provide coverage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays.  When calling 410-706-HELP after hours, users will be transferred to support representatives who are trained to assist with Blackboard issues (including change requests for Blackboard passwords), and general connectivity issues with systems, browsers, etc. 

Users will also be able to report non-critical issues such as password change requests (for e-mail, SURFS, Directory, etc.) or requests for account administration (create accounts, name changes, etc.).   These requests will be addressed promptly on the next business day.  If a user reports a critical system outage (such as the network, web, Blackboard or phone system), the support representative will contact the designated system administrator immediately to begin the process of resolving the outage.

In addition to calling 410-706-HELP, users also have access to the UMB Online Support Center. The Support Center allows users to search the Knowledge Bases, utilize Live Chat, and submit their own Help tickets. 

For questions relating to any of these services, please contact the ASC Help Desk.
