Cordless phones may be used in the residence hall bedrooms as long as they are not 2.4 GHz.  If you want to install and use a cordless phone, you should purchase either a 900 MHz, 5.8 GHz or 6.0 GHz cordless unit.

Why are 2.4 GHz phones not allowed in the residence halls?

The College's Red Dragon WiFi computer network operates in the 2.4 GHz radio frequency spectrum.  Any wireless device that also operates at 2.4 GHz will interfere with our wireless computer network and degrade signal strength, resulting in poor Red Dragon WiFi signal quality.

Please note that any device operating at 2.4 GHz will interfere and degrade the signal quality of our Red Dragon WiFi computer network.  This includes personal wireless routers.  Therefore, no device operating at 2.4 GHz is allowed in the residence halls.
