Phone Service Outage: Receiving Calls from Outside UIS

We are currently experiencing a hardware failure that is affecting campus phone service. At this time, outgoing calls and internal office‑to‑office calls are functioning normally. However, we are unable to receive incoming calls from outside UIS.

Replacement hardware is scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning. We will send a follow‑up email once full phone service has been restored.

Printing at UIS has become even easier with the new Pharos Mobile Print. With Pharos Mobile Print, users can either send an email with the file they need to print attached or they can use My Print Center. 

Sending an Email Attachment

To use Pharos Mobile Print, create a new email addressed to pharosmobileprint@uis.edu. Next attach the document that you want to print to the message and press send.

Note: Attachments must be one of the following file types to show up in the print queue:

Preparing for the unexpected is what makes our campus resilient

We have returned all campus services back to UIS. All applications should be fully functional.

You can continue sharing feedback through the feedback form.

A huge thank you goes out to everyone who helped us test this morning. We appreciate you! Your partnership has helped make this an incredibly valuable exercise and is paving the way for UIS be even more prepared and resilient.
