Request Software

Any JMU department, organization, or individual seeking to acquire technology systems or services is required to complete a Technology Solution Request (TSR) within the IT Service Portal. Additionally, a TSR must be submitted for the development or implementation of any new technology. See the Standard for Acquisition and Assessment of Technology for more information.

Departments should submit a TSR as soon as a technology need has been determined and allow for a minimum of four (4) weeks after IT has received the necessary documentation for the review process to be completed.
