New phone number for Student Accounts

Student Accounts in the Finance Department is pleased to announce that we have a new group phone number!  We believe this will allow us to assist students and members of our community in a faster, more efficient manner.  The phone number is 217.786.2480.

The group phone number should assist you in transferring students to us as you’ll only need to remember one phone number instead of looking up 3 different numbers and trying to remember what order to call us.

There is voicemail in case all 3 of us are assisting other students or away from our desks and that will be monitored regularly.

We still have our direct phone numbers if you need to speak with one of us specifically.

Please make a note of the new number.  Thank you!
Robin Ackman, Elyse Calhoun and Libby Elder
