Customer Service vs. Customer Support
The difference between customer service and customer support is that customer support teams support a product, while customer service teams provide service to a customer.
While both focus on helping customers, customer support is a specific type of customer service that involves documentation, product feedback, and technical problem solving.
Customer Support
The short answer is that customer support is important because support agents are key for helping resolve customer queries quickly and effectively and driving customer satisfaction. This ultimately impacts customer retention, customer lifetime value, and brand reputation.
Customer Service
Customer service refers to the assistance an organization offers to its customers before or after they buy or use products or services. Customer service includes actions such as offering product suggestions, troubleshooting issues, and complaints or responding to general questions.
5 strategies for delivering great customer support/service.
- Make support agents strategic students and staff.
- Ensure soft skills are just as important as “technical” ones.
- Support your support team.
- Be personable.
- Be fast.
Service Desk Counter: Do’ and Don’t
- Respect your customers.
- Be Honest
- Take Responsibility
- Always Put Yourself in The Customer’s Shoes
- Express Your Gratitude
- Don’t Make Things Overly Complicated
- Don’t Be Indifferent
- Don’t Treat Customers as Transactions
- Don’t Ignore Customer Feedback
- Don’t Be Afraid of Complaints

What is Staff Clearance (Exit Clearance)?
Q: What is staff clearance and why is it required?
A:
Staff clearance, or exit clearance, is a formal procedure carried out when an employee leaves the organization—whether through resignation, retirement, or termination. It ensures that:
-
All assigned responsibilities have been completed
-
All university property (e.g., ID card, laptop, access cards) has been returned
-
All outstanding matters (financial, legal, or administrative) are properly resolved
This process helps both the employee and the university maintain a clear, accountable transition.
What does “Connected, no internet” mean?
Q: Why does my device say “Connected, no internet”?
A:
This message means your device is successfully connected to the Wi-Fi router, but the router itself is not connected to the internet. Possible causes include:
-
Issues with your internet service provider (ISP)
-
Problems with the modem or router
-
Temporary network configuration errors
Recommended Actions:
-
Restart your modem and router
-
Check if other devices have internet access
-
Contact your ISP if the issue persists
What should I do if my student status is 'DISMISSED'?
If your status is listed as ‘DISMISSED’, please consult with your Kulliyyah, Academic Advisor, or the Deputy Dean for Student Affairs (DDSA) of your Kulliyyah.
This is because the readmission process falls under the jurisdiction of the Kulliyyah.
✅ Once your status has been successfully changed to ‘ACTIVE’, access to IIUM systems such as i-Ma'luum and others will be restored automatically.
For further clarification, kindly reach out directly to your respective Kulliyyah.
