Service Offerings for Custom & Vendor Software Support from MIS:
For those who have a specific issue to report or need specialized assistance, please review the below offerings:
Overview
Use the service offerings on this page to request support for centrally-managed vendor software and custom web applications from the Management Information Systems (MIS) team in Computer Services. MIS oversees a diverse range of applications and software that are vital to University operations, and the MIS team is dedicated to meeting the University's technology needs by developing custom software, exploring third-party products, and enhancing the effectiveness of existing software.
Some of the applications and systems that fall under the responsibility of the MIS team include:
- Custom-developed applications
- Ellucian Banner ERP system and related applications
- Third-party vendor software
Please Note: You can identify custom applications developed by MIS staff by looking for the 'Designed by Computer Services' icon displayed in the upper right corner of the page, and you can also look at the page URL—if it begins with gapp.missouristate.edu, then it's a custom application.
If you require assistance with any of the above, please select the relevant service offering on this page, and a MIS team member will get in touch with you. To learn which systems analyst or application developer is responsible for a particular process, software, or application, you may review the MIS Application Assignments list (current users only).

Access Request.
