TELEPHONES

The telephone in each faculty office provides basic service with voice mail.  Any questions or problems should be directed to the Dean's Office, extension 449.  Both local and long distance phone calls may be placed from most offices.  To make a local call, dial "9" and then the number.  To make a long distance call, dial "88" + "1" + the area code and number.  The cost of phone service for the College accounts for a large portion of the College's total operating expenses.  It is imperative that long distance phone calls be kept to a minimum.  Personal long distance calls must be charged to a personal credit card.  It is illegal to charge personal calls to a state telephone.

FAX MACHINE

A FAX machine is available in ED 110F for faculty and staff to send and receive University-related information.  The COE fax number is (806) 742-2179.  Because of the cost of FAX transmission, this service should be used only when necessary; if possible, use the postal service or attachments to email.  If personal faxes must be made, there will be a minimal charge.  Information for charges is located beside the fax machine.  Payment for personal faxes are to be made to Senior Administrative Assistant, Ed 110C.

COE CELL PHONE POLICY

• COE faculty and staff identifying a need for a cellular phone will justify in writing why they need a cell phone in order to fulfill their duties.  This written justification will include the purpose of the calls, an estimate of the number of minutes each month, the prospective cost, and the funding source.

• Cell phone users should not make or receive any personal calls or personal voice mail messages on their cellular phones except in emergencies since incoming calls and voice mail are charged at the same rate as any outgoing calls.

• Each month the Finance Manager will review the bills and note any excessive use.

• Each person who is issued a cellular phone will receive a copy of the monthly bill, note any personal calls, and submit a check for reimbursement.

• If abuse of cellular phones is detected, the service to that individual will be discontinued.
