Facilities Service Level Agreement - Work Order

 

Overview

This SLA is reviewed annually or upon significant policy/system changes

Purpose

This Service Level Agreement (SLA) defines the Facilities Department’s commitment to timely and effective delivery of services related to Service Request, work orders(Incident), and facilities projects for students, faculty, and staff of Mount Marty University. This agreement is supported by established bestpractice guidelines to ensure that all services are delivered efficiently, consistently, and in alignment with the university's operational and academic needs. Facilities will make every effort to meet the service levels specified, but our ability to do so is directly tied to staffing levels and in situations where we face staffing shortages or other similar constraints, our response times and service delivery may be affected.

Scope

This Policy applies to:

  • All users of campus facilities services (faculty, staff, students).
  • All Facilities personnel providing or supporting those services.
  • All university-managed buildings, grounds, utilities, custodial services, and equipment.

Definition

An unplanned issue or degradation in facilities (e.g., plumbing, HVAC, lighting) that affects campus operations.

Responsibilities
