  • Repair Services

    Telecommunications provides repair services to all UF owned telephone systems. Repair services are initiated by calling 273-1234 or submitting a Web request at www.cns.ufl.edu/telecom. In order to receive a quicker response, customers should call in repairs. Repair services are provided between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday excluding holidays.

    Repair work orders are issued by WMC to Telecommunications via a remote printer located in the Telecommunications' building and are then distributed to Telecommunications Specialists by the Telecommunications Supervisor.  Please meet our repair staff:

    Repair orders are given top priority, and it is Telecommunications policy to respond to all repairs within 24 hours after receiving the orders from WMC. Departments experiencing a complete telephone outage could contact Telecommunications at 273-1234 for a quicker response time; but only after they have contacted WMC to initiate a work order and obtain the work order number.

    Each item of telecommunications equipment owned by UF departments and being maintained by Telecommunications has a decal. The decal number is entered into Telecommunications' Maintenance database. Each piece of equipment is assigned a monthly maintenance charge. The monthly maintenance charge is determined by both historical maintenance experience and the initial cost of each piece of equipment. The repair service covers normal wear and tear, lightning and flood damage, and acts of God. If the damaged system is not repairable, Telecommunications will replace the system in its entirety or its components at no additional charge. If replacement parts or equipment cannot be obtained due to obsolescence, Telecommunications at its own discretion will replace the entire system with a comparable system. The only items that Telecommunications' repair service does not cover are negligence/vandalism; and moves and changes performed by the customer, and lost or stolen equipment. Telecommunications will bill for repairs caused by the customer and for replacement of lost or stolen equipment.

    Customer billing inquiries and resolutions are handled by CNS Accounting; please call 392-2061 for assistance.
