Jabber allows employees to use their University phone number from a computer or mobile device.   Please note:

  • Only employees with a dedicated phone line can use Jabber. Employees who only have a voicemail box are not eligible.
  • All office lines are provisioned with Jabber to use on your computer. However, if you want to use the Jabber on a mobile device with the mobile app, you will need to submit a request and select Cisco Jabber Request. 
  • To request a new phone line and Jabber, complete the New Line Request form.

Login to Jabber

  1. From the Menu bar, click Jabber > Preferences...
  2. Click through the options:

    1. Please note:
