To make sure that all operations are performed in a timely and efficient manner, there must be specific procedures. ESS procedures are mentioned below:

1. Job requests for any ESS service should be sent electronically via the ESS Online Help Desk. Failure to do so could result in delay of your job orders as our staff give priority to those sent through the Help Desk. (If you don't know how to access our Online Help Desk, just send us an email and we will send you the procedure.)
2. When requesting for service(s) via our Online Help Desk, PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THE TYPE OF SERVICE YOU WANT TO AVAIL OF (e.g. photocopying, audio/video service, graphic or web design, etc). You can find this at the bottom of the online service request form.
3. In case of photocopying and/or graphic design (such as posters, flyers, and the like), CLEARLY INDICATE THE QUANTITY (or number of pieces).
4. The ESS Management reserves the right to assign any project or job request to any ESS Technician. This is to ensure balance loading of jobs/projects among technicians in the ESS. IF YOU PREFER A PARTICULAR PROJECT/JOB TO BE DONE BY A SPECIFIC TECHNICIAN, PLEASE DISCUSS WITH THE ESS HOS PRIOR TO REQUESTING THE JOB/PROJECT.
5. For large-scale projects, there should be prior agreement between the Head of ESS and the Head of requesting department / center.
6. For revision / modification of finished jobs/projects, PROPER CHANNELS OF COMMUNICATION SHOULD BE FOLLOWED, that is, discussion of changes should be done with knowledge and consent of the HoS-ESS and HoD/HoC of requesting department/center.
7. The ESS job/project request procedure is done on a single-project scheme, thus it is advised that those making the requests REFRAIN from adding to, or expanding the previously agreed job or project orders.
8. In case of borrowing ESS equipment, those making requests are advised to make the requests at least 3 DAYS BEFORE THE EQUIPMENT USE. Also, the official letter of request duly noted and approved by the Dean or Asst. Dean should be attached to the request. Please take note that even though the request is properly done and with attached required documents, the ESS may not be able to provide the equipment based on scheduled use and the number of equipment available.
9. Training requests should be coursed through and with official endorsement from OJT Department. The ESS reserves the right to accommodate or not accommodate the request for training based on the ESS staff schedule and number of projects in the pipeline.
10. It is strongly advised for those making requests NOT TO DISCUSS THE REQUEST DIRECTLY TO THE TECHNICIANS. If the one making the request wants to discuss details of his/her request, he/she needs to discuss these with the HoS-ESS.
