Tech Support Options in 2025
As we approach the Spring semester, it is important to us in IT Services that everyone knows where they can get the support they need. Before this year starts, we want to give you a refresher so if you ever need technology help you know what your options are. Here is a list of all the places you can go to get support.
Let’s dive in!
Check the IT Help portal
From this page, you can view contact info for the support desk, search the Knowledge Base directly, find links to reset your password, and much more. There is even a section of helpful KB articles curated for different times of the school year.
Visit the site now at MiamiOH.edu/ITHelp.
Search the Knowledge Base!
With nearly 1,100 public articles on common Miami tech topics (like how to conduct Zoom meetings, how to change your password, or how to download your free version of Microsoft Office), chances are you’ll find the answers to your questions in the Knowledge Base.

Call IT Help at 513-529-7900
Calling the support desk is the easiest and quickest way to get the help you need. Advisors are trained to assist in whatever way you need—and get the appropriate people involved if they can’t resolve your issue right away.
Chat with IT Help
If you’re more of the typing type, we also have a live chat option. This connects you to a live support person ready to assist with your issues.
