The transition to Zoom Phone for the offices of Development, International Study, the Provost, and the Wellesley Centers for Women will take place on Wednesday, March 17th. As of this date, if you are dialing from on campus, you will not be able to reach any staff in these offices by dialing their four-digit extension. You must dial the full 9 + 1 + 781-283-xxxx number to reach staff in these offices. All staff on Zoom Phone will be able to reach each other through four digit dialing and will have to dial the full number to reach any on-campus extensions of other departments.
As a reminder, this is exactly how College phones will work for each group as we make the transition to Zoom Phone. Everyone who still has an old on-campus phone will be able to reach each other by dialing four digits, and everyone in the Zoom Phone system will be able to reach each other by dialing four digits, but calling from Zoom Phone to a phone on the old system requires dialing the full number and vice versa. We understand that this can be confusing, but should not pose a major problem because most faculty and staff are working remotely and are already dialing the full 10 digit numbers.
The main line for each of the following departments will continue to be available for four-digit dialing to everyone on both Zoom Phone and the old system throughout this transition, including:
Development (3589), International Study (2320), and Provost’s Office (3583).
We will send additional announcements as more departments transition to Zoom Phone. If you have any questions please contact the Help Desk.
