SSDT Service Desk is available to ITC Staff only. SSDT will not accept any requests that come directly from school district personnel.
Creating Tickets
- You have two ways to create a service desk ticket.
- Email questions via the service desk email address: support@mcoecn.atlassian.net
- Log into the Service Desk portal: https://mcoecn.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1 and create a ticket.
Using Email to Create a Ticket
When you create a ticket via e-mail, Service Desk will match the e-mail you're sending the ticket from to the email attribute listed on your MCOECN AD account. So basically this means your work email must match the email address listed on your MCOECN AD account. After submitting your ticket via email, you should receive a reply that the request has been received. If you have not received a reply, please contact your ITC tech department first to confirm the email you are using to create your ticket from is the same email listed on your MCOECN AD account. Any further issues can be sent to Catherine Aldrich (aldrich@ssdt-ohio.org) or Michelle Drewes (drewes@ssdt-ohio.org).
After submitting your ticket via email, you may also reply to requests/comments via e-mail but, again, the correspondence must come from your work (ITC) e-mail.
As of February 1, 2023, new Jira Service Desk accounts will no longer be created when creating a ticket. The reason we are doing this is to clear up multiple accounts and limit access to Jira Service Desk to ITC staff.
If you create a ticket via e-mail, Jira Service Desk will match your e-mail to the email attribute tied to your MCOECN AD account. If a new ITC staff member creates a ticket via e-email, it should link the ticket to their existing MCOECN AD account automatically. If you do not have an MCOECN AD account yet or have questions about your existing account, please contact your ITC technical staff. The SSDT does not have ability to make changes to your MCOECN AD account.
If you need to change your password to your MCOECN AD account, please click here. This link will take you to the MCOECN self service website where you can reset your password.
Using the Service Desk Portal to Create a Ticket
When creating a ticket via the Service Desk portal, you may be prompted to log in. You must use your MCOECN AD account login credentials to log into the portal. We recommend bookmarking the portal link for ease of access.

Service Desk Tips/Tricks
- Please refer to our best practices recommendations on how to relay the information that SSDT is looking for on each type of ticket. These suggestions are a guide to help ITC and SSDT support effectively collaborate to get to the root of the issue.
- Sensitive Information: Please do not include any confidential/private information in either the description or as an attachment in the request. This information is viewable by others outside your organization. If you need to send the SSDT sensitive information, please include the information in a secure file drop to the SSDT staff member you are working with.
- https://filetransfer.nwoca.org/filedrop/ssdtstaffmember@ssdt-ohio.org (replacing 'ssdtstaffmember' with the ssdt-ohio.org address of the SSDT staff member you want to send the file to. (i.e. https://filetransfer.nwoca.org/filedrop/drewes@ssdt-ohio.org)
- Comments on Closed Requests: Entering a comment after your request is closed will automatically re-open the request. so please use the comment box on closed requests only if you want to re-open it.
