Telecommunications

The main University telephone number is 740-368-2000. Most campus offices also have direct-dial numbers.

• Callers may dial 740-368-plus your extension number to reach you without going through a University operator.
• The central switchboard is open from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday - Friday only.
• Long-distance calls may be placed, using the University’s long-distance system or by using any long-distance carrier’s calling card.

Students who use telephone and voice-mail services to harass or otherwise abuse others will be prosecuted through the University Judicial System.

Additionally, misuse of the telephone may result in prosecution through local criminal court. Section 2917.21 of the Penal Code of the State of Ohio makes it unlawful for any person to: (1) fail to identify themselves to the recipient and make the telephone call with purpose to harass, abuse, or annoy any person; (2) describe, suggest, request, or propose any sexual activity, or cause damage to or destroy public or private property.
