Unscheduled: Inbound and Outbound calling

We are currently experiencing intermittent issues with inbound and outbound calls. We expect this to continue throughout the day. Calling may be affected for a few seconds up to 10 min. We apologize for the inconvenience.

If you encounter an emergency and are unable to dial 911 from a campus phone, you will need to complete the call from a cell phone.

Harrisonburg and Lancaster locations affected.

Scheduled: telephone system outage Saturday, 2/18

On Saturday, February 18 from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, we will be taking a component of the phone system offline.  During the outage you will be able to make calls from your office phone, however you will not be able to receive incoming calls.  Off-campus callers will not be able to leave voicemail; they should receive either a busy signal or a message that the call cannot be completed.
