TO: All Residence Hall Students
Effective with the 2008-09 academic year, room telephone services will not be provided as part of your residence hall room rate. This has been under review for several years. The telephone instruments were removed over four years ago and a very small percentage of students have continued to use this service. Yet, a substantial fee has been paid annually to the telephone company for services being used by a very small number of people. By removing this service, residence life will be able to keep room rate increases lower than anticipated.
We encourage residence hall students to make use of cell phones. Telephones for emergency use will also be made available on the first floor of the residence hall.
It is important to note that you will have the option to add room telephone service for an additional charge.
