Telephone Service
 Each
student room is provided with a private telephone line. Your number can be
dialed directly from anywhere without going through the College Switchboard.
Until your room telephone number has been given to others, off-campus
parties may reach your room by dialing 517/629-1000.
To reach any campus number from any
campus phone, simply dial the last four (4) digits of the telephone number.
Student room telephone numbers all start with a "1" or a "2" (example: 1298
or 2476). Faculty and staff numbers start with a "0" (example: 0620).
Because of the growth and expansion of
the college, has introduced extensions
for student rooms that begin with a "2." These extensions work just like any
of the previous college extensions that begin with either a "0" or a "1."
From any campus phone just dial the last four digits. However when dialing
numbers from off-campus phones you must include the prefix. The prefix for
all extensions beginning with a "0" or a "1" is 629. The prefix for
extensions beginning with a "2" will be 630. (example: 629-1298 or 630-2476)
The Area Code for all Albion phone
numbers is 517.
Voice Mail
Each student phone line also has been
provided with voice mail service. A private voice mailbox is provided
for each student. The system gives you much better service than an
answering machine and is built into the telephone system.
Long Distance
Outgoing long distance calls can be
made directly from your room, using a College provided Personal
Identification Number (PIN). For new students, the PIN number will be in
your Kellogg Center Box when you arrive on campus. Returning students will
use the same PIN issued when they entered.
Telephone Billing
Long distance calls will be billed
monthly, directly to each student via email. The College offers 3 calling
plans. Please visit the
Britphone website to view and sign up for
the calling plans. Any discrepancies found in a telephone bill must be
reported to the telephone clerk within 30 days of billing. (Telephone bills
may be paid online via credit card using the online payment link on the
britphone website, in person at the Accounting Office in the Ferguson
Administration Building, or sent via campus mail to the Accounting Office.)
For more information about the billing of Albion's phone system, visit the
Accounting Office webpage.
Cable Television
 Each
student room is provided with an outlet for cable television. Your TV must be "cable ready" or you must
have a "cable ready" VCR to receive all of the TV channels. The college does
not provide the cable between the wall and your TV. The cable you need is a
standard "F" connector cable and can be purchased from the bookstore or
local merchants.
Campus Data Network
Each student is provided with a Data
Network connection. Arrangements need to be made with our residential
network coordinator to receive a network connection. Additional
Information regarding the network connection can be found on the
Information
Technology page of this news letter, page 14.
