Service Prioritization Model and Escalation Resolution Procedure

Service Prioritization Model

The IT Help Desk will evaluate every request that is initiated. The priority is assigned to a request depending upon:

  • Critical business systems.
  • The Impact on the university: size, scope and complexity of the incident.
  • The Urgency to the university: time within which resolution is required.
  • Availability of staff resources.
  • Availability of required resources.

A lower priority will be assigned if a workaround exists.

Escalation Resolution Procedure

If an incident or request is not resolved within the time-frame described or if a satisfactory resolution is not provided within a reasonable time-frame, the incident or request can be escalated by contacting:

  1. Help Desk (inquire about the problem and report that no contact has been made)
  2. Chief Information Officer
