New GVSU telephone exchange

Anyone calling Grand Valley State University now needs to begin using a new phone number.

Most university telephone numbers have changed prefixes to 331, including the main switchboard number at 616-331-5000.

The last four digits of telephone numbers for students, faculty and staff remain the same. The change, effective December 16, was necessary because the old telephone exchanges (including 895, 771, 486, and 336) had run out of available new numbers.

Exceptions are phone numbers associated with the Meadows Golf Club, Children's Center, Muskegon Center for Higher Education, Traverse City office, and Physician Assistant Studies, and GVSU Family Health Center on Sheldon Street in southeast Grand Rapids. Those phone numbers remain the same.

Beginning May 1, 2003, callers dialing Grand Valley's old prefixes will hear a recording telling them to hang up and redial using 331. That recording will be available until next December.
