Do you need help?

If you are a Texas A&M DOR-supported user that needs help, please send an email to support@vpr.tamu.edu for desktop support or webapp@vpr.tamu.edu for issues with division-maintained websites.

Support coverage is always available during university business hours. Sending an email to the general addresses will guarantee that you receive support as quickly as possible. If you email individuals, they may or may not be in the office and this may delay a response to your request.

Many division-maintained websites include a help feature that will submit a support request. If the website does not have a help feature, please email webapp support.
