The university provides a working telephone line in every student room or apartment. Students are responsible for providing their own telephone sets. These phones must be touch-tone and compatible with the standard telephone modular-wiring jacks. Each room or apartment is assigned a nontransferable telephone number. The telephone line will be connected when you arrive on campus but is restricted to local and credit card or authorization code long-distance calls. Problems with phones should be reported to STC Services at x6567.
For long-distance calls, if you wish to use a calling card, you still have access to 1-800 lines and you can always place collect or charge calls to a calling card or major credit card. Direct-dial (1+) calls require special access numbers, and you will need an authorization code to place a direct- dial long-distance call. Long-distance authorization codes may be obtained from Anna McLaughlin, Assistant to the Dean of Students, on the 3rd floor of the Moody Student Center. Anna may be reached at x6588 or amclaughlin@hollins.edu. Hollins will bill each student monthly for long-distance service, and this amount will be automatically added to your account.
Students cannot contract individually for long-distance service with another company or for a private telephone line. Hollins has contracted with a long-distance company to provide all long-distance services on campus.
You will not be able to accept collect calls in your room or charge long-distance calls to your room phone from another number.
Each residence hall, except the apartments, has at least one lobby telephone. The lobby phones and all room phones are part of the campus system. If you wish to call another telephone on the system (another campus telephone), you only need to dial the last four digits of the telephone number. If you dial 0, you will reach the switchboard. To dial off-campus numbers, you first need to dial 9, then the number as you would normally dial it.
