Long Distance  Service                                                                                     Top of Page

The University uses the State of Missouri long distance network which utilizes a variety of long distance carriers on a year to year basis.

Students wishing to sign up for long distance service through the university need to fill out a contract form located on our web site or by coming to our office.

After signing up for long distance service, an authorization code is issued so that each call can be billed to the student's account. Students need to key in this authorization code when placing long distance calls.

There is a $150 credit limit on long distance calls. When this amount is reached, between regular billing cycles, long distance service is suspended until all charges are paid. Incoming collect, third party or 900 calls are not permitted.

While the university offers discounted direct dial long distance service to students wishing to subscribe, students are free to use the long distance carrier of their choice. They may access other long distance carriers by dialing their toll free 800, 888, 877 or 866 numbers. The other method of reaching the carrier of their choice is dialing 1-0-1-0-XXX-0. Calling cards normally provide dialing instructions on the back of the card. If this method is chosen, an authorization code will not be issued.
