"Thank you for your message. Please note that the physical campus at Springfield College is temporarily closed due to COVID-19, but we are open and operating. Faculty and staff are responding to all inquiries remotely, via email and phone to the extent possible. Our campus academics are moving online as of March 30 and will continue through the remainder of the semester, with many on-campus services being provided online. We appreciate your patience and will get back with you as soon as possible."
Forwarding to another phone from off-campus:
This cannot be done remotely. Contact ITS at tsc@springfield.edu. When emailing, be sure to include your full name, your work extension, the number you want to forward to and the best number to reach you if there is a question.
Note: For hunt groups (one number rings multiple other phones) we can forward all messages to a department email or to multiple users. They cannot be sent to a phone number.
