Student Voice Mail
The College's Voice Mail provides
automated answering and message storage when your line is busy as well as when
you do not answer. You will hear an interrupted "stutter" dial tone
whenever there is a message left for you on Voice Mail.
You’ll find that all voice mailboxes
have been pre-activated in all Resident halls to allow students to set up their Voice Mailboxes.
Check your Voice Mailbox for
messages before moving out. Voice Mail will be cleared to allow the next
student to set up his/her Voice Mailbox. You must notify the
Telecommunications office at extension 4074 of any room changes to receive the
Voice Mailbox number associated with your extension.
Each student has access to their own, private voicemail box. The first time you enter your voicemail box, the system will "talk you through" your voicemail session, explaining how to set up your mailbox with your personalized greeting, name and security code. Before beginning, think of a security code that you will remember and the greeting that you want your callers to hear. See below for sample greetings
