General Instructions for Students
POLICIES REGARDING YOUR PHONE SERVICE:
- The University provides dial tone, at no charge, to one phone jack per residence hall room. Using their own analog phone, residents can place outgoing on-campus, local, 911 and toll-free calls.
- Students desiring to use the provided dial tone must furnish their own analog phone and line cord to connect to the University-provided telephone jack. Neither caller ID nor voice mail is available.
- Long distance calling is available through the use of a prepaid calling card or credit card. Only those cards providing a toll-free access number will connect through the University's telephone system. While students may bring their own prepaid calling cards, these cards are also available from local retailers.
- There is no charge for incoming long distance calls, as long as the student does not accept a collect call. Most collect calls are blocked from passing through our switch; however, if one is received and the student elects to accept the collect call, the student is responsible for any and all charges for the call.
- Entrance and/or hall phones are available for emergency help, if needed.
