All phones on campus may be used to call on-campus numbers by simply dialing the four digit extension. Local calls are free and may be made by dialing a 9 and then the number. Calls made to numbers with a 612 area code may be dialed as seven digits. Most calls made to the 763, 651 and 952 area codes are considered local calls and must be dialed as ten-digit numbers. Do not dial a 1 before any of the above area codes.
