Use of Portable Wireless Devices

Invoices will be paid by IS&S Central Administration and itemized statements will be sent to department liaisons, who will be responsible for reviewing the statements and communicating with device users in their respective departments.

Employees must immediately repay their department for usage charges incurred due to personal calls, text messages or other services.

Employees should avoid talking on a cellular phone and driving a motor vehicle at the same time due to the safety concerns.

How to Request Wireless Service

Portable wireless voice and/or data service must be requested per College policy and requires specific approval of the responsible area Department Head and Vice President. Complete the following request form and send it to IS&S Central Administration, CPO 2208. IS&S will notify you when your equipment arrives.

Employees may not make changes to wireless service through direct contact with the service provider. Service plans will be revised as deemed appropriate as negotiated by the Purchasing Department with the provider.  Changes will be made by IS&S Central Administration.
