Campus phone system migration

The campus is migrating to a new phone system

DoIT is depreciating the legacy campus phone system and needs to meet with departments to migrate their phone numbers to the new phone system. We ask that a department representative please contact me to begin these discussions.


This past year DoIT has been aggressively working with administrative and academic departments to convert individual and departmental phone numbers over to a new campus phone system. To date, we have moved more than 800 campus numbers which represents the bulk of those types of phones on campus. If you or your department has not yet started this migration with us, we strongly encourage you to reach out to us to start this conversation. 


In addition to improved support and reliability, the new campus phone system offers many new features that enhance and simplify your experience including:

  • You will no longer need FAC codes to make long distance calls.

  • Using the Webex app on your computer or mobile device to natively make and receive calls using your campus extension improves mobility and hybrid work schedules.

  • Receive Voicemail messages delivered to your email as an audio file. 

  • Advanced in-call features including call waiting and easy conferencing.
