Support Report
The implementation of a grading system for CIRT support not only facilitates efficient resource allocation but also fosters transparency in our service delivery. By self-grading our support levels as A+, B+, and C+, we provide faculty with a transparent framework that outlines the expected level of assistance they can anticipate when reaching out for help.
A support grade of “C+” suggests a baseline level of assistance, indicating that CIRT has a foundational understanding of the application or integration. While competent in addressing common issues, “C+” signifies a lower level of proficiency compared to higher grades. This grade may mean that the application is very new or that the scope is limited to a small number of users. Users of applications assigned a “C+” grade can expect a best effort toward issue resolution, however we cannot guarantee the same level of expertise and efficiency as higher support tiers. We may be dependent on the application vendor or public documentation to address issues, and there may be support delays, especially where specialized knowledge or administrative access beyond our scope is required.
External Resources
To further empower UNF instructors, we provide direct links to the vendor’s support material, ensuring you have access to official resources and expert guidance. Furthermore, we curate and share external support documentation discovered online that may offer valuable insights or alternative perspectives. Our commitment is to provide you with a holistic support experience, combining our internal expertise with external resources to empower you in navigating the intricacies of this application.
