Campus telephone Numbers

The main telephone number for the University is (617) 552-8000. However, the University uses a direct inward dialing system that allows you to call directly to departments and most individuals without operator assistance. We encourage you to look up numbers for individual students, faculty and staff in the Communications Directory. Office phone numbers can be found in the Department Directory. Departments' listings include detail entries from their faculty and staff and often include a general FAX number. There is no general University FAX number. You may also want to consult our Quick Phone & Email list.


Email Addresses

School & Department Email Addresses
There is no central University email address. Offices and organizations that have general email addresses ordinarily supply this information on their web sites. We suggest you use the A-Z index to locate the home page of the office you are interested in contacting. Some "group" email addresses for organizations can be found by doing a keyword search in the "mailgroups" listings of the Communications Directory. Use the pull-down menu to change the "Search in:" selection from"People" to "MailGroups". You may also want to consult our Quick Phone & Email list.

Student, Faculty & Staff Email Addresses
To find the email address of an individual student, faculty member, or staff member, search the "people" listings in our Communications Directory. The general format of email addresses at Boston College is firstname.lastname.#@bc.edu where # is a numeral used to make common first and last name combinations unique.


Alumni Directory

Boston College maintains a separate directory of contact information for our alumni who wish to share this information with one another. Access to the Alumni Directory is restricted to Boston College alumni who have registered through the Alumni Online Community.
