In an effort to be more proactive in regard to security of the Owens Community College phone system, we have implemented security features for your desk phone as follows:

  • Users are required to change their password every 120 days on their voicemail. The passwords must be at least 6 digits; no simple passwords will be accepted. (i.e. 111111, 123456, etc.).
  • Call forwarding of your desk phone to an outside (non-College) number is not be permitted unless you are part of an exception group. Exceptions will need supervisor approval and should be requested through the IT Service Desk. 
  • International calls are not permitted on campus phones unless you are part of an exception group. If you attempt to call an International number, you will receive a fast busy and your call will not go through. Exceptions will need supervisor approval and should be requested through the IT Service Desk.
