Services

Unlike the large telecommunications firms, the St. Olaf College Telephone Office offers personal, friendly, and local service. You may have to sign an extensive contract when signing up for service with the large companies; however, our customers are not required to sign a contract – a handshake will do. Call our office for high-speed internet, telephone, and TV service. Do you need to schedule a teleconference? No problem. We can handle that request, too.
