Students who need assistance in accessing or managing their Lewis University email accounts should contact the Help Desk (helpdesk@lewisu.edu, x5950 on campus, or (815) 836-5950 from off campus). Mail Room

Mail Room


The University Mailroom provides all services of a Post Office except for money orders, passports and the issuing of insurance on packages. Items needing insurance must be taken directly to the U.S. Post Office. Postage stamps are sold individually or in books.

University Phone Service


Each residential room has one phone jack to which students may connect a telephone. This phone is assigned a four-digit campus extension, from which students may call any other 4-digit University number at no charge, and free local phone calls within a 10 miles radius.

Students who wish to use this phone line for calling off-campus must set up an individual billing account with our student telephone service company, Resicom (go to www.resi.com; under Specific College Information, type in Lewis). Students with a Resicom account will receive a personal 7-digit authorization code, which enables them to dial off-campus.

Lewis University provides a free voicemail system to all campus extensions. While some students choose to connect answering machines to their phone lines, voice mail will still take messages when the line is busy. Voice mail is also used to notify residential students of important announcements.

University Television Service


Each residential room has one jack to which students may connect a cable-ready television, using a coax cable (12' length is recommended). This service offers a wide variety of programming, including a premium cable channel, sports, food, music, and local programming. It is advisable to bring the original remote control for the television to access the menu that programs cable channels.
