Employee Name: Carrie Niblett

Cruz ID: cniblett

Therefore, the email address is: cniblett@ucsc.edu

Login to Campus Email

Login with your full UCSC email address as the username and Blue password. ITS recommends that you always access Google via a secure web browser such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Internet Explorer.

Making Phone Calls: On-Campus

For campus calls, you can simply dial the extension, not the entire number.

• For example, to contact Carrie Niblett at 831-459-4986, simply dial 9-4986.

• If someone has a '502' number such as 831-502-1234, simply dial 2-1234.

Making Phone Calls: Off-Campus

• For local (area code 831) calls, dial '6', then the 'phone number'. For example: 6-831-555-1234.

• For long distance calls, dial '6', then '1', then the 'area code' then the 'phone number'. For example: 6-1-805-555-1234.
