VGCC Phone System Upgrade Makes Calling Much Easier
Vance-Granville Community College phone system is getting a major upgrade that will result in direct phone numbers to employees without going through the switchboard. In addition, there is a new version of voice mail.
The upgrade is taking place today (March 15) on Main Campus. It is scheduled for March 29 at South Campus and April 5 at Warren Campus.
TELEPHONE LISTINGS DIRECTORY:
The Telephone Listings published by the Marketing Department will be updated in the coming days once all of the new extensions are available for South and Warren. In the meantime, you may access the web Staff & Faculty Directory for all of the newest extensions:

edwards@vgcc.eduor call him at Ext. 3243.
KEY CHANGES:
Training on the phone system was required for all employees, and sessions were held this week. Two key changes in the system on Main Campus are as follows:
(1) We now have four-digit extensions. Our new extension starts with the number “3” and is followed by our old three-digit extension. (Ext. 243 is now Ext. 3243.)
(2) Someone can dial us directly from off-campus to our phone without going through the switchboard by dialing “738-3xxx” (with the “xxx” being our old extension).
There are many other great new features as explained in the training sessions!
SATELLITES:
South Campus will be making the switchover to the new system on March 29. Until then, callers from Main Campus should dial 3442 or 3441, and then dial the appropriate secondary extension when prompted.
Warren
