Article ID: 1156 | Last Updated: Fri, Feb 11, 2022 at 1:59 PM
To request the move of a single UBC employee’s IT equipment (staff or faculty) from one location to another for office moves, renovations or new builds, you can use the Okanagan - Employee IT Equipment Move Request form in the UBC Self-Service Portal.
Applies to: Contractors / Researchers / Faculty / Staff / Student Employees
Please complete this form providing as much detail about the move as possible – you will be contacted by an IT Project Coordinator for a consultation.
Instructions:
Accessing the Form |
- Login to the UBC Self-Service Portal with your CWL credentials.

- Click on Request a Service. From the left side menu, click on "Hardware, Software & Desktop Support".

- Select the "Okanagan - Employee IT Equipment Move Request Form"

Completing the Form |
Contact & Move Details
- Once "No" is selected for the first question "Is this move for more than 5 people or to multiple locations?" additional fields required will be displayed.
 Your contact details will auto-populate based on your CWL entered to login to the Portal. Telephone is not mandatory.

IT is unable to move furniture or items bolted to a desk (including keyboard trays, monitor arms, etc). Please complete a UBCO Facilities Work Request to have these items removed / moved.

Submit the Form |
- Click NEXT
- You have the option to edit any information provided on the previous page by selecting "Edit Options", or click
It may take some time (15-20 seconds) for the form to be submitted due to the complexity of the Request Form compared to other forms. Please wait until you are taken to a new page with the request details - DO NOT REFRESH or RESUBMIT

- You will also receive a confirmation email with this information.
- Your ticket will be processed by our staff, and assigned to a technician(s) for completion.
- Note: You can add any comments once you have submitted the Request by going to View My Tickets

- If you entered the CWL of the employee being moved, the Request will appear in that employees My Request -> Request List (see #6 below). It will also show in your My Watched Requests (under My Requests. See #7 below)
If you did NOT provide the CWL of the employee being moved, the Request will only appear in your My Request -> Request List (see #6 below).
- Click on "Requests" to view all Request Items (services requested), then click on a Request Item# to view the details of that specific requested service.

- If you submitted the ticket WITHOUT the CWL of the employee moving, you will need to click "My Watched Requests" on the left side and then select the Request tab:
