Faxing at UIS

ITS works with units/departments to set up faxing service by request.

  • To request a fax setup, please submit this form.
  • To send a fax, enter the 10-digit fax number. Add a 1 to the beginning for long-distance numbers.
    • You do NOT need to add a 7 at the beginning for off-campus numbers.

Units/Departments are responsible for cost associated with faxing:

  • Cost is $40/month effective May 1, 2025
  • Units are responsible for purchasing an appropriate fax machine or take advantage of virtual faxing
    • Virtual faxing allows you to send/receive faxes through a website or application; no physical machine is needed. This is a nice option if your fax machine is reaching end of life and you don’t want to buy a new one.

Note: If you have only occasional faxing needs, you may want to reach out to another unit to see if you can partner with them to share a fax line/cost. Virtual faxing may not be the best option for shared faxing due to confidentiality concerns. You would want to discuss any concerns with the unit(s) you are sharing with.
