Non-Urgent Issues - Request a "General Fund Work Order" Online

1. Navigate to the Facilities website (https://requests.fo.umich.edu/)

2. Select “Maintenance & Facilities”

3. Always list Ruth Halsey (halseyr@umich.edu) in the ‘confirmations’ email

Examples include: a flickering or burned-out light, water leak, and restroom issues, among other examples below

* Cleaning requests (unexpected messes made inside the building needing service outside of normal custodial service periods)

* Toilet paper or paper towels in the bathrooms are out

* Grounds issue (mess outside that needs to be cleaned-up)

* Electrical outlet not working

* Power is out or flickering

* Door issue (won’t open, won’t close, won’t lock, etc.)

* Drain is clogged

* Unidentifiable smells from the ventilation

* Unusual sounds coming from the building

* Elevator issue

* Water faucet not working

* Replacing light bulbs

* Toilet/bathroom issues

* Plumbing problem

* Heating/cooling issues

* Stained ceiling tiles (indicates a water leak)

You are authorized to submit ONLY “General Fund Work Orders”.  Orders placed through “General Fund Work Orders” are not charged.  Our unit pays for our space and included with our space costs are repairs for normal wear and tear that would require maintenance. Any items that are not the result of ‘normal wear and tear’ would qualify as “Non-General Fund Work Orders” and should be submitted or authorized in advance by Ruth Halsey. This proposed work would require Department leadership to evaluate the cost of the activity vs. the value added to our unit.
