SUNYIT Telephone Procedures
The campus telephone system permits persons off-campus to reach faculty and staff members and any students living in college residence halls by directly dialing their seven digit telephone numbers. The system also permits direct outside dialing by college personnel and students. The Telephone and Voicemail System is administered by the ITS Department.

Problem Calls- Call Trace
If you receive any obscene, harassing or threatening calls, do not say anything and calmly hang up the phone. Perform a call trace by immediately picking up the handset and dialing # * 7 then notify University Police at X-7106. If you do not react to the callers, they will usually stop.
