Software Request
We provide you the software necessary for you to be effective in your role with the Vice President for Finance and CFO senior management area. There are some “commodity” software packages that we seek to standardize across the unit to provide economies of scale (Windows 10, Office 2016, etc.). With department head approval, we would be happy to help you evaluate, procure, install and configure custom software beyond those commodity packages as needed.
Finance IT supports multiple on-campus locations reporting to the Vice President for Finance and Chief Financial Officer.
We can take your requests Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. You can reach us using any of the following methods. We are closed on University holidays.
- Email: supportvpf@vt.edu
Submit a ticket request to us by emailing supportvpf@vt.edu. Please use a descriptive subject line for the email and concise details in the body of the message.
- Phone: 540-231-3035
Call 540-231-3035 from 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday, to reach us. If your reach our voicemail, please leave a message with your name, phone number, and a brief description of the problem.
- When you email supportvpf@vt.edu, a request ticket is automatically created for your request. Anytime one of our employees update the ticket, you will receive an email notification. The ticketing system is designed so that any replies you send to these emails will be automatically appended to the ticket in our system. Once the ticket has been closed, any replies you send will re-open the ticket and notify the previously assigned employee. For this reason it is not necessary to reply with a "Thank you!" message once a ticket is closed, even though we most certainly appreciate it!
- While it may seem convenient to stop one of us in the hallway or office to make a request, we ask that you refrain from doing so. It is often the case that the staff member you are talking to is already working on several support requests which makes it difficult to remember all the exact details of your request. In these situations we ask that you use the in-person meeting to remind yourself to submit the request through one of the suggested methods above which helps us to document all the relevant information needed to complete the ticket.
