If faculty or staff determines they are having an issue with their system, they need to put a trouble ticket in at
http://www.fisk.edu/helpdesk
It is best to use your username for the username and password. If you are unable to access the trouble ticket service, you can call 615-329-8693 and ITS help desk will submit the trouble ticket for you. This way, we can track the progress of the issue.
If the password needs to be reset for a student, the student will need to come into the office and present an ID for the password to be reset. If the student is unable to come into the office he/she will have to fax their ID for verification at 615-329-8691. If the mailbox is over the limit, the student will need to come into ITS to have it cleared.
