Student Voicemail

The University encourages the use of the Voicemail Service. Voicemail provides the ability to send broadcast messages to communicate important information such as class cancellations, weather related information and other vital information pertaining to the University Community.

Voicemail is an optional feature that you may request at NO additional cost.

You and your roomate(s) will share a mailbox from which you can retrieve your voice mail messages. While the telephone system supports the use of answering machines, they are not recommended as they may interfere with your ability to receive and retrieve messages.  The University encourages the use of this voicemail service as it is used by University staff to notify you of important information such as class cancellation, weather related information and other vital information important to the University Community.
