Your phone will be working when you arrive on campus.

Students will be provided with a secure PIN code that will allow them to make off-campus calls from dorm room phones or any available campus phones.

College residents will need to supply the telephone instrument for their room. For single occupancy rooms, there is only one telephone jack in which to connect your telephone. For double occupancy rooms, there will be two telephone jacks available. Telephone instruments must be analog.
