Faults or general enquires with computer equipment can also be reported using one of the following:

  • By telephoning the Helpdesk on ext. 4444
    Please note that your calls may be recorded for training purposes
  • By faxing the Helpdesk on (01273 64) 2665
  • By emailing helpdesk@brighton.ac.uk

Information Services will either respond by dispatching one of our Desktop System Technicians or by escalating the fault directly to one of our third party maintenance companies' on site engineers.

We aim to respond within 8 working hours of the call being logged and to fix the fault within a further 8 working hours. If the fault cannot be fixed we will endeavour, on request, to loan out a replacement machine until the fault is repaired.

If you report a fault on computer equipment not covered by the university's maintenance contracts you may receive a charge in relation to parts and labour. Such calls will take a lower priority than those relating to equipment currently covered by a maintenance agreement.
