This system also allows students to check the status of their request online and receive emails when the status has been changed. If the request is an emergency (i.e. flood, serious injury scene) please contact your residence hall's desk or Residential Learning Coordinator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Next, your request will be reviewed and converted into a work order, then assigned to one of our mechanics, custodians, or technicians, depending on the specific issue. If the problem is not an emergency, our goal is to complete the work order within two business days.

Please make sure that the area that needs to be repaired is accessible to our staff. For example, if you requested service on your heater, please make sure nothing is stacked in front of the unit. If there are personal items that keep maintenance workers from getting to the area, your work order may be delayed.

Yes. In order to decrease the time that it takes to respond to your problem, maintenance workers may need to enter your room or apartment when you are not at home. However, when you return, you should find a service tag hanging from your door to let you know that workers were in your room to make repairs.

If you live in University Apartments and indicate on the room repair web in the text box that you want to be home when the work is completed then someone from the University Apartments office will contact you to set up an appointment time. However, please be aware that if your repair issue is an emergency, this may not be possible.
