Important Deadlines
Want to Keep A Mines Phone Number? Action Required!

Department / Organization: IT

To keep an external phone number, fax number, or physical desk phone, you must submit a request form by May 15.

As shared in previous campus communications, Mines is transitioning from our current 18-year-old traditional campus phone system to Microsoft Teams Calling.

This change provides a "work anywhere" experience, allowing you to stay connected via your computer or mobile app, and by removing underutilized lines, Mines will save approximately $700,000 over the next five years.

Action Required
After this transition, most employees will continue to use Teams for internal calls and online meetings, but if your role requires a fax number, external phone number, or physical phone, you must submit a request here (please submit one form per 4-digit extension) by the May 15 deadline: https://helpcenter.mines.edu/TDClient/1946/Portal/Requests/ServiceDet?ID=56056
