***Our Help Desk Work Order form has changed***

We are now using a portal for you to track and easily enter in all your Incident and Service request for IT. EasyVista is a platform that allows you to see where your issue is on the path to being resolved. We hope that you will find this as Easy as we have. (no pun intended)

Please use the following link for entering a Work Order into the system:

Consult the User Manual to guide you through the process or contact the IT Help Desk at 870-972-3933 for assistance. Please keep in mind that this is a new process for everyone, your patience is greatly appreciated.

Previous Maintenance or Outages

The Banner system (INB, SSB. Workflow, etc.) will be undergoing upgrades beginning at 5:00 pm Friday, July 27. It is expected that the system will be unavailable through Saturday, July 28 at 5 pm. Services will be restored as soon as possible upon completion of the upgrades. We apologize for the inconvenience and ask that you plan your operations accordingly.

This will not impact Blackboard or the MyCampus portal. All other systems will be accessible and work as normal.

The weekend following the 3rd Friday of each month is the regularly scheduled “Maintenance Window” for enterprise IT systems.  Occasionally the dates are adjusted to accommodate other University business processes but in general these are the weekends you can expect downtime on major systems.
