Away Messages
At times when staff and faculty will be out of office for an extended time, out-of-office automatic replies should be set up.
These messages help to inform individuals who are looking to get in touch with you that you are unavailable, and can provide them with steps to receive assistance until you return.
Please use these out-of-office message templates when taking time off to ensure consistent away messaging from the ÒùÐÔÊÓƵ community.
