IT Self-Service Portal | University of Miami Information Technology

We're excited to announce significant enhancements to your IT support experience, centered around an improved Self-Service portal within ServiceNow. While you can continue to contact the IT Service Desk via the same phone numbers, you can now submit and track your IT support tickets and service requests through a redesigned self-service portal. This updated portal boasts a fresh, modern look and improved navigation, making it easier than ever to find the help you need.

I opened a ticket (i.e., created an incident) and was able to resolve my issue on my own. Can I close my ticket myself?
- Yes, if you have resolved your issue, here’s how you can close your own ticket:
  - Navigate to the self-service portal at: it.miami.edu/self-service
  - Select “My Requests” at the top right, then locate and select the ticket you would like to close. You have the option to type a message to let the IT Service Desk team know that you resolved your own issue.

What’s the difference between submitting for general support vs. a general request?
- Use “General Support” (i.e., open a ticket, create an incident) when something is broken, not working, or down.
  - For example, you can’t log in to a system, you experience unexpected behavior while using a non-clinical system, or you need help resetting your password.
    - Important: Always report issues that are time sensitive or impacting patient care by placing a call to the IT Service Desk.
    - Did you know? You can select “Clinical Application Support” for any non-urgent clinical application issues or select “Software & Hardware Support” for issues impacting non-clinical applications, hardware, or network and internet connectivity.
  - Submit a “General Request” when you need something new or have a question.
    - For example, you need access to an application that does not already have a specific request form, have a question about a recent IT project communication you received, or need help but aren’t sure if it’s a “technical issue.”
