Viterbi School provides computing support for staff and faculty through the Viterbi Service Desk.
There are four ways of getting help from the Viterbi Service Desk:
1. Viterbi Service Desk Web Form
Service requests can be initiated and tracked at http://viterbi.usc.edu/servicedesk.
Sample of what the web form looks like:

For Staff and Faculty, you may access the Viterbi Service Desk by logging in to http://myviterbi.usc.edu portal. Within the myviterbi portal, you will be able to see a history of your old tickets and a status of your current tickets.
2. E-mail
Service requests may be initiated by sending email to engrhelp@usc.edu.
If you choose to contact Viterbi IT by email and the problem is urgent, in the subject line please add: URGENT: (and then a description of the problem), for example: "URGENT: Unable to access group file share".
3. Phone
Viterbi IT Service Desk telephone number is 213-740-0517.
4. Walk-In Support
Walk-In support is available by visiting DRB 205.
Normal Hours of Support (Monday-Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm)
Off Hours Support (Monday-Friday, 5:00 pm - 8:00 am, Weekends & Holidays)
Limited to server and related infrastructure support only (e.g., network file storage, VSoE email, etc.).
In general, off-hours support is triggered by the automated system monitoring. Automated system will send alerts to "on-call" support staff.
Presently, we are not offering the same level of support during off-hours that is available during normal business hours.
