Long distance business related telephone authorization codes and calling cards are available from the Office of Telecommunications for the convenience of faculty and staff who must place long distance business related calls or faxes. Long distance business related telephone authorization codes and calling cards are issued to individuals upon written authorization from their departmental fiscal agent. The person to whom these codes or cards are issued is responsible for all calls placed on the code or card number. Codes or cards may not be used by anyone other than the person to whom they are issued. Charges incurred by the use of these codes or cards will be automatically billed by the Office of Telecommunications to the department on a monthly basis.
Fiscal agents are responsible for reviewing bills for their specific areas of control.
Collect calls may not be accepted and toll calls from a third number may not be charged to a University telephone. Long distance business related telephone authorization codes and calling cards may not be used for personal calls or personal faxes. University calling cards may be used for placing calls to the holder's residence when extensive travel is required and report of safe arrival is necessary. Such calls should be limited. If personal calls other than the authorized ones referenced above are made on University authorization codes or calling cards, they are regarded by the University as personal toll calls.
