seek or modify long distance PINs or
Voicemail passwords.

required, all students assigned to
that extension will be responsible
for determining who placed the call,
and the subsequent payment of that
call.

To respect and uphold
Telecommunications services and
equipment provided; for example, you
will not intentionally
misuse, remove, repair, damage,
abuse, destroy or in any manner
tamper with voicemail services or

their abilities.

procedures, violation of this policy may
result in disciplinary review, expulsion

or other disciplinary action as deemed
appropriate.
