Domestic and international long distance service is provided to faculty and staff. These calls may only be made on phones which are programmed for the appropriate level of long distance use. All long distance calls are billed to the department.

Students may make long distance calls through the use of a calling card or personally-provided toll-free number.

Faculty and staff are strongly encouraged to use the State Universities Voice Network (SUVON) for making in-state long distance phone calls. Dial 3 (instead of 8), then dial 1, area code and phone number as with any long distance call. Some participating member institutions also allow calls to be routed through their network to outside local numbers. However, a SUVON call must either originate or terminate on the network to be considered an authorized use of the network.
