Wireless Access

UNI allows students, faculty, and staff to use their personally owned computers to access the wireless network on campus using the 802.1x protocol with WPA encryption. This requires that users register the hardware address of their wireless network cards with the ITS Consulting Center in the ITTC. [1] Once that has been done, users can access any of the wireless access points on campus, including the eleven in the library, and use their Active Directory user accounts to log into the network.

• Personally owned laptops that have been registered with ITS should select the SSID "WiFi-UNI."
• Faculty or staff who have registered university owned computers should select the SSID "UNI-Wireless."
• Sponsored university guests should select the SSID "Guest-Portal" and log in with the username and password assigned for their visit.

All students are automatically given Active Directory accounts by ITS and faculty/staff are given accounts by people in their respective technology departments. On August 1st of each year the hardware addresses of personally owned computers will be removed so that the tables don't fill up with outdated addresses. This means that wireless network cards need to be re-registered each year.
