Help and Support

For all your concerns, you should first contact the IT Service Center via the ITS-Helpdesk. Whether you have a question, want to express a wish, or need help with a problem - then you've come to the right place!

The ITS-Helpdesk

Please contact us first. We take up your case, try to find a solution quickly or forward your request to the responsible colleague. In any case, we consult with you when making decisions in order to ensure a joint approach.

Contact optionsEinklappen

The ITS-Helpdesk can be reached during the pandemic 

  • We will call you back if we have specific questions. We therefore ask that you use our telephone hotline on 0921 55 3003 only in very urgent cases and instead send us your request first by e-mail.
Remote maintenance (Teamviewer)Einklappen
We also support you with problems and troubleshooting via remote maintenance. This enables us – with your consent – to view and control the user interface of your computer remotely as long as both sides have the remote maintenance program open. Please install the current program:

Important: This procedure is also supported in parallel by telephone, so that you have the possibility to ask questions at any time, even if you and your computer are not physically at our site!

"The small print"Einklappen

This offer is not intended to compete with commercial providers. Therefore, only devices which are exclusively or for the most part used by a student of the University of Bayreuth can be processed. The employees of the IT Service Center decide individually for each problem whether processing is possible or sensible. The service catalog is only intended as a rough overview. The employees only offer personal advice on site and acceptance of cases during the opening hours of the PC garage - telephone support is not possible. The IT Service Center cannot guarantee success and cannot be held liable for any loss of data or damage. Necessary spare parts are only recommended, the students themselves are responsible for procurement. Employees cannot create appraisals either.
