To Order New Telephone or Voicemail Service, or Make Changes to Existing Service.
Telephone Service  - A request to add new telephone service or make changes to existing service may be made by completing an Inter-Campus Order Form and sending it to the Telecommunications office. Please make sure the order includes the name of the person who will be using this service.  This information will be forwarded on to the Switchboard for their master directory.
Voicemail Service  - A request for new voicemail or changes to existing voicemail can be requested from your department’s office by e-mail to the Telecommunications office. (Voicemail services are for current LCC employees only).

To Report Telephone Trouble.  In case of a telephone problem, call the Telecommunications office at (541) 463-5565 and describe the problem.  Do not call the telephone company!   The Telecommunications office can handle most issues, and calls to the telephone company could result in unwarranted charges to the department that placed the call.
