All Georgetown Law Center technology support activities are handled by the Information Systems Technology Service Desk (SD). The SD serves as the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for all end-users (faculty/students/staff) who need help with any technology issues or requests.

Please submit a Service Desk Request via email at caphelp@georgetown.edu, phone 202-662-9284, self service portal or visit us in person at McDonough Hall – Room 152 (Please make an appointment for in person technology needs) to obtain assistance.

Upon submission of your request, you will receive an automated email confirmation with a ticket number. You may also receive additional update emails as we work to complete your request and a final email when your ticket is closed.

In order to receive real-time feedback from our customers, 10% of the tickets closed will generate a link to a customer survey where you can comment on the quality and caliber of the service received.

Please do not hesitate to email capcampuscio@georgetown.edu if you feel that your expectations have not been met.

Reminder: Do not include sensitive or protected information when submitting service desk tickets. This includes student records (FERPA-protected data), social security numbers, financial details, health information, passwords, confidential research data, or personal details such as race, ethnicity, or religious affiliation. If you need to share sensitive information securely, please call our service desk at (202)662-9284 or visit us at the Capitol Campus, McDonough Hall, Room 152.
