ON CAMPUS HOUSING
Special Note
Within the past few years the Office of Residence Life has found that most residents on campus use their cell phones as their primary use of communication with friends and family. Last year, a IT land line phone study was conducted in Guinan Hall that showed less than 3% of residents use the land line service provided in their residence hall rooms. Since the need for land line service has dramatically declined over the years, the Office of Residence Life has decided that it would be more financially responsible to remove land line service from each individual resident room in order to meet other resident needs.

Beginning Fall 2008, land line telephone service will no longer be provided in each resident room. Although the individual phones lines will be taken out, designated “house phones” will be located around Guinan Hall and the Residence Life Apartments for local calls or calls using a calling card. Resident Assistant rooms and ADA accessible rooms will have land lines still available in the room.
