There are a number of ways to request help from us, depending on the nature of the situation.

Faculty and Staff Can Enter an IT Ticket
For non-emergencies, enter and track your own IT work orders in our ticketing system. Entering work orders for IT is pretty simple, especially when you're entering them for yourself:

1. Go to https://thehub.hampshire.edu (for a shortcut on campus, try typing just "thehub" into your browser (without the quote marks).
2. Log in using your HampNet ID.
3. Select "Faculty" or "Employee."
4. From the IT Trouble Tickets section select "Enter an IT Trouble Ticket."
5. You will be asked to verify your name, location, etc.
6. Choose the type of work from the drop down list at the bottom and click submit.
7. If this is a computer problem, you will be given a list of computers assigned to you to choose from (if appropriate--you can select "none" if it's not related to a specific computer).
8. Finally, you'll be asked for a description of the problem. Try to be specific and clear about the problem, but don't fret: if we have questions, we can always contact you.
9. Submit the work order and you're done!

You can track the work order from TheHub, too. Just select "Trouble Ticket Status Inquiry," and you'll be given a selection of work orders from which to choose.
