In June 1996, telecommunications notified the campus that BellSouth would be converting all university telephone lines from 395 and 350 to the new 962 prefix. Bell South will discontinue all 962 intercept recordings on campus phones on June 1. Please notify family, friends and colleagues of the change in our campus telephone prefix. 962 is the official prefix for the university.
