Due to the Governor’s executive order, all OEL staff will be working remotely. We encourage you to first contact us by email (oel-helpdesk@umich.edu) or by using our support form to create a ticket as we will not have anyone present in the office to answer phone calls. If you leave a voicemail, we will do our best to provide a timely callback. We will be maintaining our normal support hours during this time.
