APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT 1 AUGUST 1991
 
  I.   Policy
 
       Whenever possible, official calls should be dialed directly
       from University telephones.  If business requires that calls
       be made from outside of the University system, or for
       conference calling arrangements with multiple off-campus
       parties conducting University business, a credit card may be
       requested from the Department of Communication Services.
       Credit Cards issued by the University may not be used to
       make personal calls.
 
  II.  Procedures for Obtaining Telephone Credit Cards
 
       The requesting department should prepare a memorandum
       containing the following information:
 
            A.   Name of the person to whom the card is assigned.
 
            B.   Accounting Unit and FAS number to which the card
                 will be assigned.
 
            C.   Signature of person with budgetary authority.
 
            D.   Statement of need for a credit card.
 
       The memorandum should be forwarded to the Department of
       Communication Services, Telecommunication Services, Campus.
 
  III. Procedure for Reporting a Missing Credit Card or Suspicion
       of Misuse
 
       The card holder should immediately contact Telecommunication
       Services with the following information:
 
            A.  name of card holder;
 
            B.  department; and
 
            C.  credit card number.
 
       The credit card will be canceled.  A new card may be issued
       if desired.
 
  IV.  Use of Credit Card
 
       When using a credit card, the individual placing the call
       should enter the credit card number electronically rather
       than requesting operator assistance.
 
  V.   Conference Calls
 
       As noted in UMCP Policy X-3.00(A), conference calls with
       more than three people located off campus need operator
       assistance.  There is a charge for such assistance, and when
       a telephone operator is used the call must be charged to a
       credit card.  University issued credit cards may be used for
       this purpose so long as the call is for official University
       business.
