No, you should not call a student who is on the DNC list. However, I must speak on my own personal experience. I was once enrolled at an institution that called me quite often. If I missed a log in day, if I was late in submitting an assignment, it seemed as though I got a barrage of emails and phone calls. At first, I appreciated the concern and support; but after a while it became overbearing. I didn't need 12 phone calls and 8 emails to advise that I was late on an assignment. One simple message would suffice. So in my frustration, I asked my advisor to put my name on the DNC list. But then guess what happened next? I began to get a bunch of "Unknown" calls. I never answer "Unknown" callers, but it was annoying nonetheless. When I looked up the phone numbers connected to the "Unknown" calls, they all had the area code of the school that I attended. So although you or I wouldn't call an individual on the DNC list, there are those who would...even if it means going "incognito" under an "Unknown" moniker.
