Telephones

 


Employees are asked to limit personal telephone calls and emails. Public telephones are available in the HUB for placing personal calls and they are to be used during non-working time.  Employees are prohibited from placing personal toll calls on college telephones.  See Ethical Standards & Conflicts of Interest in the GHC Policies and Procedures, Section #103.

 

Telephone Access Codes – An individual access code number is required in order to use the State Controlled Area Network (SCAN) long distance telephone system. Individual codes can be obtained from the Chief of Information Services at 360-538-2500, with proper approval. However, the new employee’s supervisor, if appropriate usually makes requests for SCAN codes. These SCAN access codes result in the college paying the cost of the long distance call, and obviously, personal long distance calls may not be made using the SCAN code.  Your SCAN access code will not work for international calls.  Contact the Switchboard by dialing ‘0’ for assistance with placing an international call.

 

Telephone Service/Repair – All telephone service and repair calls are handled by the Chief of Information Services at 360-538-2500.

 

There is a TTD/TTY phone, 360-538-4223, located in the Disabled Student Services Department, Room 119.

Personal Mail and Copying – The College name, address or stationery cannot be used for personal use. The College Bookstore sells stamps, stationary, envelopes, etc, for personal mail.  The library has a pay-per-copy machine for personal copying.  If applicable, new employees will receive copier access numbers for logging onto the College’s copying machines to make copies for department and College business.  Discuss use and location of copy machines with your supervisor. Copy machine malfunctions should be reported to the Purchasing Office.

Fax  Machine

 


The College has the ability to communicate quickly with other community and technical college districts and state agencies and individuals via fax machine. After the first page of copy, the fax machine is more expensive than regular mail, but it disseminates information much faster.  Please use the fax machine only when time does not permit the use of regular mail. Ask your supervisor about use of the fax machine and its location.

 

Your SCAN telephone access number is needed for dispatching long-distance faxes. The fax machine located in the library may be used to send personal faxes on a pay-per-page basis and the Library staff will assist you.  If you need to send an international fax, contact the          Assistant to the President.
