This page provides a summary of the requirements for university employees using electronic communications devices and services (phone lines, Internet service, etc). The information applies to the following devices:

• cellular phones
• personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• pagers
• other electronic communication devices
• related equipment and software (e.g. personal/laptop computers, fax machines, and e-mail)

This page is intended as a summary only. For specific situations and/or questions, refer to the documents listed in the Policy References section.

Note: The personal use of University-provided cell phones has been a major focus of recent IRS audits at the UC Los Angeles and San Diego campuses. As a result, questions regarding the University’s cell phone policy (see Business and Finance Bulletin G-46) have been raised by the IRS. Pending the outcome of further discussions regarding those audits, Business and Finance Bulletin G-46 and campus procedures will be updated. These updates are expected sometime after the start of calendar year 2008.

At this time, no policy exceptions will be granted.
