Accessing BES on a department-issued BlackBerry

New BlackBerry

Existing BlackBerry

Have an authorized departmental budget approver create a ticket with the ITS Help Desk (online, by e-mailing help@sandiego.edu, or by calling 260-7900), requesting BES access for your BlackBerry. The ticket must contain the department POETS. Only June or a departmental budget manager may create the ticket.
