An Authorization Code is a 7-digit number used to bill calls directly to a specific account. Faculty/Staff can get personal authorization codes or business authorization codes.

Administrative Authorization Code
The Telephone Support Office can assign a 7-digit authorization code to a specific UWSP account. It allows you to place business calls from any location on campus and have the charges billed directly to your department account. The code allows you to dial direct anywhere in the world.

Personal Authorization Code
Faculty/Staff have the option of making personal telephone calls using a personal authorization code. The code allows you to place calls from any location on campus and have the charges billed directly to your personal telephone account. The authorization code is assigned to your Faculty/Staff ID, and you will receive a monthly telephone bill through your UWSP e-mail account.

Authorization Code Responsibility
If your code has been lost, stolen, or you no longer wish to use it, you must notify the Telephone Support Office, or fill out an Authorization Code Cancellation Form. By obtaining an authorization code, you accept full responsibility for all charges until your code is cancelled.  Treat the auth code like a credit card.  Keep it in a secure location.  DO NOT share it with anyone.

Call Charges

Administrative Telephone Bill
All administrative telephone bills are processed the first business day of each month.  The charges are automatically transferred from your designated six-digit UWSP department account.  The responsible person, or designee, for each account receives a detailed summary of all telephone charges for the account each month.  If you have any questions regarding admin billing, call [4716], or email kjakusz@uwsp.edu.

Personal Telephone Bill
You will only receive a telephone bill if you have cellular service, or if you use your 7-digit authorization code to make personal calls or send personal faxes.  If you do not use your code, you will not get charged for telephone service. 

Telephone bills are processed during the first business week of each month.  Failure to receive a bill is not basis for non-payment.  If you have any billing questions, or a dispute, call [4716], or email kjakusz@uwsp.edu.

Bill Payment - How do I pay my telephone bill?
Acceptable methods of payment include: cash, check, credit card/web check, money order, or cashier's check. Personal points, or PointCash, are not accepted. Make checks payable to UWSP and include your account number on all payments.

There are several ways to pay your bill. They are:

UWSP Telephone Support Office
900 Reserve Street, 026 LRC
Stevens Point, WI 54481

Overdue Bill
All balances are due by the cutoff date listed on the bill.  If you do not pay by the due date your telephone service will be suspended until your balance is paid.  If your account is two months overdue, your telephone account will be cancelled and your charges will be turned over to the UWSP Accounts Receivable Office. 

Note:  The Accounts Receivable Office charges interest and can deny university records (such as transcripts).  It will save you money and grief to pay your bill in the Telephone Support Office!

Payment Plans
The Telephone Support Office is willing to help keep your service active.  If you cannot pay your balance by the due date, call [4716], or email kjakusz@uwsp.edu.  Reasonable payment plans will be accepted.
