The "FXIT" line is the number you call to get a maintenance concern in your room or apartment fixed.

FXIT is not part of DoIT. They are a department under ResLife. This content has been taken from http://www.umbc.edu/reslife/living/services.html

Number x5-FXIT(5-3948)

• For an emergency after hours call your front desk, staff will call the Maintenance Assistant (MA) on duty. (See below for emergency information)
• For a non-emergency after hours, you may leave a message on the FXIT line.

Information needed to complete a Work Order Request

• Name
• Phone number
• Room number
• A detailed description of the problem.

You will be assigned a "Work Order Number". This number is EXTREMELY important. Please keep it until you are sure that your request has been fixed.

All staff entering your room should be able to show University identification. For your security, please request to see this before allowing anyone you do not know into your room.

Depending on the severity and complexity of your request, staff will refer it to either a student MA, a member of UMBC's Physical Plant staff or an outside contractor.

Like in the real world, some work orders take longer than others to repair. There are issues of complexity that may require Outside Contractor (OC) expertise. Outside Contractor work can take much longer than five business days so your patience is appreciated. Allow an average of three to five business days for completion contingent upon the severity of the issue or problem. This list is not exhaustive.

After Hour Emergencies

MAs are on duty seven nights a week in order to respond quickly to emergencies. Call your front desk and staff will contact the MA on duty for you.

Individuals with a Portal account - limited access - will find that they can log in to myUMBC and utilize all of the site's functionality, providing those functions do not need to be linked to an active personal account.

Functions that require a Full account for access include items such as UMBC Email, Blackboard, Classes & Grades and Billing & Personal Finances. As an example, someone with a "Portal" account could go to myUMBC to read about campus news and events, but they would be unable to utilize email or register for classes. When an active account is elevated to "Full," these items are made immediately available.
