Welcome to UService

UService is a unique department connecting UCalgary employees with Finance, IT, Human Resources and Payroll. UService provides campus-wide assistance through email, phone, chat, and limited walk-in services.

UService can explain and outline University processes and provide training and assistance within Information Technologies (IT), Human Resources & Payroll, Finance (Supply Chain Management, Research Accounting, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Corporate Card), Research Services’ Institutional Research Information Services Solutions (IRISS) and Research Management Systems (RMS).
