 Calling Card Use Policy

Policy Statement

Lawrence University requires all university employees to use telephone calling cards for business related long-distance calls when traveling on university business.

Procedures

    1. All telephone calling cards will be purchased and distributed by Information Technology Services.
    2. The cashier will be provided a supply of cards so that they can provide them to travelers.  These will be 60 or 120 minute cards which should meet the needs of most people who travel infrequently.  As a guideline, those traveling for one or two nights will receive 60-minute cards.  People traveling for three to five nights will receive 120-minute cards. 
    3. Travelers requesting a card from the cashier will need to provide a request form signed by their supervisor.  The forms are available from the cashier.
    4. Community members who regularly place long-distance calls from off campus will be provided with higher-minute cards.  When the available minutes fall below some threshold, the card holder should contact the Helpdesk at ext. 6570 to have minutes added to the card.  Information Technology Services will then recharge the card via a campus purchasing card. 
    5. Cards with unused minutes should be saved for future trips.
