University Technology is excited to launch a new, friendlier interface for our ticketing system. Some of you have been introduced to this new system when requesting course restores or a password reset. Jira Service Desk, nicknamed R0B0SQRL, will be your first online stop for support from University Technology. Some things will not be changing - you will still visit help.drew.edu, call 973-408-HELP (4357), or email helpdesk@drew.edu to submit a request; all requests will still need to go through this ticketing system; and you will still receive email notifications about your ticket requests.

Info

Please note: Prior to official launch on Wednesday, January 18, 2023, help.drew.edu will still bring you to our current ticketing system. To visit the R0B0SQRL portal, please use this link in the meantime: https://help.drew.edu/jirasd/servicedesk/customer/portal/1
