Off-Campus and Long Distance Calls

Long distance calls placed from a resident’s room to an off campus number requires the use of a Personal Identification Number (PIN). Each student will be assigned a unique PIN by JC for his/her exclusive use. Off-campus calls, which are placed using the PIN, will be charged to the account of the student to whom the PIN has been assigned. Disputes arising from unauthorized use of a PIN will be referred to the Dean’s Office. Remember that you are financially responsible for charges incurred as a result of the use of your PIN. Do not share your PIN!

Voice Messaging

As an enhancement to basic telephone service, each resident student is provided with a personal voice mailbox that can be accessed from any phone. Each mailbox is password protected to provide privacy. Students are encouraged to occasionally change his/her password and to report suspected misuse or abuse

Harassing/Abusive Phone Calls

Making harassing or abusive telephone calls is a crime punishable by imprisonment or a fine. If you ever receive obscene, abusive, harassing, or threatening calls, follow the suggestions outlined below:

Hang up at the first obscene word. Hang up if the caller remains silent the second time you say hello. Remember that you control your telephone, not the person calling. Do not give any information, such as your name or address, until the caller has been properly identified by you.

If you dial and reach a wrong number, don’t just hang up. Hang up calls can be upsetting, unnerving or even considered harassing. Please tell the person who answers that you misdialed.

If the calls persist, call the Security Dept. to track the harassing caller.
