If possible, please send your request for technical support via email. When contacting the Help Desk via e-mail, please provide as much detail as possible (i.e. any error messages, your CWL, your office/classroom number or any other information about the problem you are having).

2. Phone: 604.822.0031(For Urgent Requests)

Contacting us by phone is best for urgent requests, such as immediate support needed in a classroom.

3. In Person: HA 451 (For Equipment Pick-up/Drop off)

If you need to pick up or drop off equipment, please come to the help desk. Otherwise, your best option is to email us your request, and then we will be delighted to assist you on a face-to-face basis.

LTS Request Management Procedures

  • All incoming requests, whether through email, phone and in person, are put into a queue system and assigned to a LTS support group (Desktop Support, Classroom Support, Learning Services, Procurement, etc.) to be addressed accordingly.

  • Each request ticket is monitored and updated.

  • If the urgency and impact change, please notify us and the respective support group will be notified.

  • If you see one of the LTS technicians in the hallway and direct a service request through conversation, you may find your request has not been logged (because the technician is busy responding to the queue) so it is far more reliable to email the Help Desk.

  • Depending on the nature of the request, the current wait time for non-critical issues can be up to five business days; however, LTS is making a best effort to clear up the queue and address all the issues in a timely manner.
