Networking & Telecommunications Policies & Agreements

Policies

Moving Phones

In order to comply with e911 regulations, ensuring emergency responders will arrive at the correct location when someone calls 911 from a particular telephone, moving a telephone requires a Service Order to request Telecom staff move the phone. Most requests can be completed within 5 business days. There will be a $72 fee assessed if you move a phone without placing a service order. There is no charge to move a phone when a service order is placed.

Expedited & After-Hours Service

An expedited service request will be billed at $125/hour. Work requested to be scheduled outside of normal CSU business hours may be subject to time-and-a-half charges. Contact Heidi Friedrich at (970) 491-4287 or heidi.friedrich@colostate.edu to request expedited or non-business hours service.

Phone Warranties

Leased phones have a lifetime guarantee for repair and replacement. If you have lost or damaged your leased phone, our team will repair and/or replace it and assess a replacement fee equal the value of the telephone.
Purchased phones have a 1-year warranty. Service calls in response to a trouble report caused by customer-owned phones/equipment shall be assessed a one-time $72 service fee. Telecommunications does not repair customer owned equipment.

Cabling

Our team will identify whether cable installation requires plenum or non-plenum cable and the category of communications cable suited for the application. Additional charges may be incurred when pathways are not available and/or when conduit or cable trays are required. Please contact Heidi Friedrich at (970) 491-4287 or heidi.friedrich@colostate.edu for pricing.

Network Chargeback Billing Model

CSU uses an FTE-based cost model to fund network services on campus, this model addresses issues with congestion on our local and wide area networking circuits. Questions or comments should be directed to Josh.Clark@colostate.edu
