Tech Services, Customer Satisfaction Survey, TDX Survey Request Email

How to tell if the Technology Services Survey Request email is legitimate and not a phishing attempt.

What To Expect

Most tickets closed by Tech Services will generate a survey request. The request is delivered via email to the requestor, approximately 24 hours after the ticket is closed. Please note that someone may have created the ticket on your behalf (e.g. local IT Pro or a Help Desk Consultant). While we appreciate feedback through surveys, they are completely optional.

Check the Survey Request

You may not be comfortable clicking on links in an unsolicited email message. You can take steps to determine if the survey request is legitimate, by logging into the UIUC Tech Help Center.
  1. Log in to the UIUC Tech Help Center: help.uillinois.edu.
  2. In the Ask for tech help section (left side of the screen), click on 'View Your Existing Tech Requests.'
  3. Look for the ID number and Request title that are in the survey request email.
    • If you do not see the ID and Request title, go back to the UIUC Tech Help Center page and use the 'Submit a Tech Request' link to open a ticket. Use this to report potentially suspicious survey requests. Do not click on the links in the survey request email.
    • If you see the ID and Request title, continue to the next step.
  1. Click on the Request title, to view the ticket.
  2. In the ticket, click on 'To TDNext':
Sample To TDXNext Button
  1. In TDNext, you will see your ticket and, on the right hand side, a section called 'Survey.'
  2. Click on 'View Request':

  • You cannot take the survey within the ticket. Surveys can only be taken by clicking on the link in the survey request email.
  • You may only take the survey one time.
  • Once the survey is submitted, the 'View Request' link from Step 7 will change to 'View Response.'
