All residence hall rooms are equipped with telephone service. Each room will have its own phone number and if needed, the student can obtain a phone instrument from their resident assistant. Often times students like to bring their own cordless phones. When students arrive on campus they receive a Resi-Com security envelope with a personal authorization code. This code ensures that the only calls charged to the student are their own.
Students are financially responsible for all calls made with the authorization code.
Therefore, it is important that the authorization code is kept confidential. The student will automatically have Rolm PhoneMail service that can be accessed from anywhere on or off campus so there will be no need for an answering machine. If the student is away from their room or if they are on the phone, PhoneMail will automatically answer the call for them in their voice. Each student has their own PhoneMail box with a security password so that only they can retrieve messages. As a part of on-campus housing accommodations, basic cable television service is provided in each room.
