Please adhere to the college's dialing pattern of dialing "8" preceding a long distance call, and "9" preceding a local call. Calls may not be completed or billed correctly if not dialed in this manner. All Morningside College telephone numbers are restricted from receiving collect calls or from charging a call through the operator to a college number. "900" calls are also restricted from college telephones. You may place a collect call or charge a call to a third party by dialing 8 + 0 + area code + number, then wait on the line for operator assistance.

Do not unplug your phone as it may go out of service. If this happens, call 5182 for repair.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact Julie Bamrick at 5182.
