For assistance, email engrit-help@illinois.edu. Your message will be routed directly to the team of IT professionals assigned to your unit, who will respond within the next business day.
In the Spring 2021 semester, we made an organizational change to provide support through Support Teams instead of specific individuals. This change was made to improve our responsiveness to your support needs and increase our cross-training to better serve you.
Below, once you find your primary unit, you will also see which of our Support Teams serves your unit, and a link to see the members of that support team. The last column will provide you with the name of the Customer Relationship Manager (CRM) assigned to your unit. Your CRM is your direct link into Engineering IT Shared Services leadership and a point of escalation if that becomes necessary.
Note: Siebel Support team is associated with the Engineering IT Shared Services Help Desk located in the Siebel Center for Computer Science.
