How is Support Provided

1) Technical contacts of the Basic, Instructor, and Instructor+ licenses can only ask general software questions on the AccuClass support forum.  Support via phone, e-mail, and online assistance is only availabe to these users if they bought a paid support plan with their accounts.

2) Technical contacts of an Institution account and those with paid support plan can submit their support requests via phone and email. Email is preferred because it gets distributed to several people thus getting to the appropriate person quicker.

3) Our goal is to reply to e-mail and phone support requests within a maximum of one business day. In many cases we will reply within one business hour.

4) Telephone Support is provided Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time Zone - excluding holidays.

5) Questions via E-mail can be sent to support at any time. Expect answers during business hours only.

6) Online assistance and training sessions must be scheduled in advance and are provided on a first come, first served basis.


After Hours Support

If for some reason you require live support (via phone or remote assistance session) after our normal business hours, you may order After Hours Support services for an additional fee.  Visit this page for the details:

What Does Support Cover?

  • Explaining how to use the system.
  • Help with data imports and exports.
  • Answering questions on what a certain function does or how to perform certain tasks (if supported).
  • Troubleshooting problems and investigating system anomalies.
  • Training registered technical contacts.  We offer online training webinars.  You can view past webinars on our YouTube channel.  Personalized online training is also availalbe.  Please allow one week notice for personalized training.

Excessive Utilization of Support

For users with a support plan, we offer unlimited support for the first 90 days of opening your AccuClass account. After the first 90 days if your support usage significantly exceeds the average usage of other AccuClass users, we will notify you by e-mail. If excessive usage continues after the email notification, we reserve the right to take one or more of the following actions at our discretion (1) reduce the level of support provided to bring it down to acceptable levels (2) recommend purchasing training services (3) recommend purchasing additional support services to cover the excessive usage (4) chooses not to renew a subscription or support plan on the basis of excessive usage.

The above restrictions were put in place only to discourage overuse, which clogs up the support queue and negatively affects all users.
