Reserving a BlackBerry device
Seven business-days notice is required for BlackBerry device loaner activation. To reserve an OIT BlackBerry device, complete the BlackBerry Loan Request Form. BlackBerry devices are loaned out on a first-come, first-served basis. Upon receiving your request, OIT Software Support will contact you to set up an appointment to deliver and activate the OIT BlackBerry device.
Returning OIT BlackBerry devices
If you do not own a BlackBerry device, return the loaner BlackBerry equipment (packet contents listed above) to the OIT Solutions Center Tech Clinic, Frist Campus Center, room 112, on the specified return date. Tech Clinic hours are Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Upon return, the BlackBerry devices are reset and all data is removed. In the event a BlackBerry device or any of its components are lost or damaged, charges may apply.
If you own a BlackBerry device, an appointment is scheduled at the time the loaner is setup for returning the OIT BlackBerry device. During this appointment, an OIT Software Support technician will switch service back to the your BlackBerry device, remove the data from the OIT BlackBerry device, and collect all loaner BlackBerry components (packet contents listed above). In the event an OIT BlackBerry device or any of its components are lost or damaged, charges may apply.
Note: IMAP e-mail customers can request to have their accounts changed over to Exchange, however, once converted, an account cannot be changed back to IMAP service.
