Installing a Private Phone
To order a private telephone for your room, please come by the Communications Office in Verrill Hall. Just pick up a form from the shelf outside of Room 24 and follow the instructions. When you have completed it, put the form in an envelope along with your payment, and slide it under the door of Room 24.
Phone Repair Services
The University services all campus telephone wiring at no charge. If you have your own phone and have a problem with your line, please make these simple checks:
- borrow someone’s working phone and see if it works on your jack;
- borrow someone’s working cord that connects the phone to the phone jack and try the cord in your phone jack.
If both the cord and jack are working properly, the problem is in the line. Please call the Communications Office for line service at ext. 4272 and leave a message with your name, phone number, building, room number, and the problem with your phone.
If your phone or your cord is not working properly, you will need to have it repaired or replaced. The University does not service private phones or replace cords.
If the phone is a University extension, not a private phone, please call the Communications Office at ext. 4272 and leave a message with the phone number, building, room number, and the problem with the phone.
