Here are a few easy to-do's for your first day of work:
Note: If you don’t have a desk phone, login & password, or a PC, inquire with your hiring manager about whether a service request was submitted to the Service Desk. If they have already submitted a request and/or you are missing any of these items, contact the Service Desk for assistance from *1 from any on-campus telephone.

How to use your desk phone:
- Dial 9 to get an outside line or 9 followed by a 1 for long distance.
