Frequently Asked Questions for Faculty/Staff

Who do I call if my telephone is not working?

If you are having a problem with your telephone, contact the campus switchboard at x36000.  Be sure to leave your name, extension, building and room location and the nature of your problem.


I have forgotten my voicemail password.  What do I do?

Contact the Telecommunications Office at x36501.  Your original password cannot be retrieved, so a temporary password will be created for you to gain access to your account.  You will then be prompted to create a new password.


I have to attend a conference/travel off-campus.  Can I borrow a cell phone?

The Telecommunications Office does provide loaner cell phones for anyone who has a need.  Contact our office at least 5 days prior to your departure to reserve a phone.  Upon pickup, please provide a work order requesting the use of the equipment.  Be sure to include a valid account code to bill the charges.  There is a one-time loan fee, plus the cost of any calls placed while on your trip.  


Is there an employee discount for my personal cell phone?

There is no discount for cellular service for employees of Salisbury University.  There are discounts available for State of Maryland employees.  Visit our link on cellular services for more information.


I have rearranged my office.  How do I get my phone and computer connection moved to the other side?

A work order request is required for any moves, adds or changes to your office or department.  Visit our link on work orders for more information.


How do I prevent callers from leaving me a message on my voicemail while I am on vacation?

The campus voicemail system will allow you to create an Unavailable Greeting that will block callers from leaving a message while you are out of the office for an extended period of time.  From the main menu (within the voicemail system), press 4-Setup Options, 1-Greetings and call transfer, 1-Change greetings, 3-Edit turn on other greetings, 6-Edit unavailable greeting and record your message.
