While we do encourage UM Staff and Faculty to use FAMIS to submit Work Orders, we can also process Work Orders over the phone. Of course, if it is an emergency, such as water flowing over the floor, it is important to call immediately. Work Control’s number is (406)243-6091.

From the UM home page:

• Click on the MY button at the top of your browser
• Select EMPLOYEE VERSION and scroll down to STAFF RESOURCES
• click on MAINTENANCE REQUESTS, you will then be prompted to enter your netID

Alternatively, head to the Facilities Services home page, then click the Submit Work Order button. From there you will be prompted to enter your netID and Password.

Any Work Order can be found using the Find Request tab in FAMIS. If it is a request you’ve made, it can be found under the My Requests tab. If you’d like a hard copy of the Work Order for filing purposes, navigate to the Request Details page by clicking on the Request ID/Work Order number in question. Under the Other Options slider is a link to Print Work Order.

Non-emergency Work Orders are typically done on a first-come, first-served basis. The individual shops are responsible for prioritizing their work. If your request has time constraints, please include that information in your request, or call Work Control at (406)243-6091.

On the Request Details page, the Request History allows any requestor to check on the progress of their Work Order. The Status of the Work Order will indicate when it is Open, In Progress, Complete, On Hold, Closed, etc. If you would like to be notified when the work is complete, please make note in the details of your request.

If changes need to be made to your Work Order, you can add a comment in the General Comments field on the Request Details page. This will send a notification to the Assigned To, and show up in the Request History. For pressing changes, call Work Control at (406)243-6091.

We will continue to offer occasional training courses for FAMIS, both as a resource for Staff and Faculty members in new positions, and to keep Users fresh. For more immediate training, consult the step-by-step directions here on the Facilities Services website, or contact Work Control at (406)243-6091.

UMPD can open and lock exterior building doors at certain times throughout the week, but interior building doors are the responsibility of the Staff and Faculty in the respective departments. Exceptions can be made for holidays and weekends. Contact UMPD at (406)243-6131.

For simple estimates, like office painting and equipment rentals, just indicate in the description of your request that you’d like an estimate before work is performed. For larger, project-based estimates, please contact the work odor desk at (406)243-6091.
