Using Phones on Campus
Student Information:
All student rooms in residence halls have a landline provided for your use. If you choose to have a telephone in your room, you can bring your own touch-tone telephone with you to campus. Telephones with built-in answering machines are not compatible with the campus phone system. If you do not bring a telephone to campus, one can be rented for the cost of $10 for the year. Payment for a rental telephone is made in the Business office, the receipt is then taken to the Physical Plant to obtain the telephone. The rental fee will be refunded if the telephone is returned in working condition.
When dialing from your room, you will be able to dial local,
toll-free, calling card, operator assisted and 911. Dialing long
distance can be done using a calling card or a prepaid
calling card available on campus at the Kiltie Korner Bookstore and
various local area businesses.
The dialing pattern for direct dial local and operator assisted calls (calling card, collect, etc.) is as follows:
9 + 0 + area code + number (operator assisted calls)
9 + local number (local calls)
