Advice for students with IT software issues

If you experience problems with Sheffield Hallam software, please contact the IT Service Desk at the time of the issue (wherever possible).

The best route to use is chat as this will allow a member of the Service Desk to remote control to the PC in use and:

  1. Attempt to resolve the issue
  2. If this isn’t possible, capture important information to allow DTS to investigate further

Investigating the issue is much more difficult when reported later on.

Any urgent queries can be directed to the Service Desk by phone on 0114 225 3333 or online chat at go.shu.ac.uk/chat. For anything else, please visit our portal at itservicedesk.shu.ac.uk.  If reporting software issues via the portal please include the following information:

  • date & time
  • building & room
  • workstation name (available from the PC icon at the top left of the desktop) or if it issue was on a personal device
  • name of software
  • description of the fault or issue
