That, in turn, means more and more phone numbers are needed. So to keep pace with FSC&#8217;s growth, the College has acquired a large block of continuous numbers in the new Suffolk County 934 area code. The new area code is an overlay on the 631 area code.<\/p>\n<p>The 934 area code is now active and delivering calls to your phone. It has replaced the 631 area code. All campus phone numbers &#8211; including the 794 exchanges &#8211; have become 934-420-XXXX.<\/p>\n<p>For 420 exchanges, the last four digits of your extension remain the same.<\/p>\n<p>For 794 exchanges, the <strong>6<\/strong> of the extension has been changed to <strong>5<\/strong>, and the last three digits remain the same.<\/p>\n<p>For those dialing the 631 area code, callers will receive a message explaining the new number, and be directed to dial the last four numbers to be transferred to their destination.<\/p>\n<p>All callers to the old 631 number, whether from Nassau, Suffolk, or elsewhere, should now dial 934-420-<strong>X<\/strong>XXX to reach you.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Old Number<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>New Number<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>631-420-2XXX\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>934-420-2<\/strong>XXX<\/p>\n<p>631-794-6XXX\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>934-420-5<\/strong>XXX<\/p>\n<p>Anyone continuing to call the 631 area code will receive a recorded message that the number has changed. This reminder will continue into the summer months. A limited number of student services main lines (such as Campus Main, Admissions, UPD) will continue with both numbers. All others eventually will be retired.<\/p>\n<p>Please inform your off-campus constituencies, business associates, and family members to use the 934 area code from now on. Reminders will continue this month in the <em>Campus Times<\/em>, on the entrance signs, and via other venues used for messages.<\/p>\n<p>All print materials, business cards, publications, correspondence, and e-mail signatures must now reflect the 934 area code. <strong>A new system to handle business-card orders is coming soon, so do not order business cards until the updated system is ready.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Finally, please note that the change is for the Farmingdale campus only. It does not affect your home or cell numbers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enrollment has been going up, and that means more faculty and staff offices.
