Each residence room is equipped with a telephone outlet
as part of the Housing and Food Service Contract. Local
and non-toll long-distance calls, subject to restrictions
imposed by the long-distance carrier, may be made and
received on the telephone line. The cost of local and
campus telephone service is included in the room and
board fee. Toll long-distance calls cannot be made on
the telephone; students are advised to purchase a phone
card to place such calls. Students can sign out a telephone
from the Housing and Food Services office if one is
needed.
