Voice Services (Telephones and Voicemail)

This service is available for faculty, staff, and student workers.

The university offers a number of different telephone sets for faculty and staff use and associated voice services. 

Telephones

ITS Voice Services provides single line sets at no cost to the department. Multi-line sets may be purchased. Purchases include all future maintenance and repairs, including replacement, as needed. If you would like to have a different phone, you should first check with your department head since all phones are purchased through departmental budgets.
