Get Web/​Technical Help

Computer Support

The Office of Information Technology is available to help! Call 706-542-HELP (4357) for immediate assistance or request tech support online.

The OIT Help Desk (232 Aderhold Hall; 706-542-8007) is also available. Hours are:

• Monday–Friday: 10 a.m.–5 p.m.

(Note that hours may vary during Summer semesters, holidays, breaks, and between semesters. Any changes to these hours will be noted outside the OIT suite.)

Request a Website Change/​Update

Please use our form to submit a website request. Note that we can only update pages that are under https://coe.uga.edu and https://resources.coe.uga.edu. Also note that our web team is not authorized to make personnel additions/removals, changes to titles, or changes to offices/departments/unit affiliations unless they are sent directly from Human Resources.

Website Service-Level Agreement

The web team handles most routine content updates within 24 hours. However, due to illness or external factors, these turnaround times may be extended without notice. As the complexity of a request increases, so does the required time to turn around your request.

Examples of requests that will be handled within 3 business days:

• Existing text changes or corrections
• Switching out existing photos (without editing the photos)
• Adding or replacing downloadable documents

Examples of requests that might take up to two weeks:

• Updating forms
• Creating tables of data (e.g. event schedules)
• Rewriting larger sections of content

Complex updates or projects may require further discussion and the timeframe is dependent on the current workload of the web team. Examples of complex requests:

• Creating new webpages
• Creating a new form(s)
• Bulk changes to an existing website
• Changes delivered on paper

Use of the web request form is required to request updates to the College of Education website. If you submit a web request via email, the web team may ask that you resubmit your request using the online form. This process allows our team to track the status of your project and meet your needs in a timely manner.

We do not post Word/editable files to our website, and our online form reflects this in its ability to accept files for upload. If we receive your changes as sketches and/or requests written or typed out on paper, this will considerably delay the turnaround for your changes. Training is available if you need assistance with using the web request form.

Please note: Your request may be handled without any communication except a confirmation of resolution. This is an efficiency measure as the web team receives dozens of web requests each day. Please review any changes and email the web team if you find any errors or oversights.

If you have additional questions about web support, please contact the web team for guidance.
