Phone Service

Every student is assigned an individual phone number. If more than one person resides in a room, both numbers will ring to the room. Each person has a separate voicemail account. To make long distance calls from your room you will need a pre-paid calling card. Incoming collect calls and 900 number calls are not allowed.

Dial extension 7799.
When the system answers:
1. Hit the pound (#) key
2. Enter your four digit phone number
3. Enter the new user security code. This number is four zeroes (0000).
Select option 3 and then option 1 for personal options. Choose from the menu what you would like to do. Common set up includes: option 3-greeting option 4-security code option 5-name

To retrieve messages:

Dial extension 4999.

The system will tell you if you have new messages and how many. You can retrieve voice mail from off-campus by calling (252) 984-4999 and then beginning at #2 above.

Cable Service

Two basic cable television lines are provided in each room. Additional channels may be purchased from Suddenlink Communications. You will need a cable access box provided by Suddenlink for all extended channels. You can contact Suddenlink Communications at (252)443-1592.

Computer Networking

There is one port per person in each room for access to the College’s mainframe. Connecting will allow you instant access to the internet.

Yearly Access Fee:

$30 for CAT-5 cable and network configuration

This fee must be paid in the Business Office or during the Administrative Check-In process. Then take your receipt along with the CPU to the Information Services Department in the Spruill Building. They will install everything you need and let you know when your computer is available for pick-up. The computer must be PC Compatible (Pentium III or 4 class processor - minimum 750 MHz) with Microsoft Windows (98, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, WITH O.S. CD).
