UCF IT Support Center
This team serves as the central point of contact for the university as well as UCF IT. As the friendly voice on the other end of the line, they provide exceptional Tier One customer service and support to the UCF community for all services within their scope of support. Their duties range from directing calls to providing complex technical support. They often act as detectives, tracing down a general UCF information request or troubleshooting a technical issue for a system that is supported by UCF IT. When providing technical support, these knowledgeable representatives are the consistent point of contact for community members. They guide their clients through troubleshooting steps, coordinate with second level support for further investigation, and ultimately find a resolution for the issue. The focus of the UCF IT Support Center is to provide proactive customer assistance to facilitate communication and coordination with the UCF community regarding the University’s communications and technology services.
