University Wireless Policies

Wireless LAN Registration Required

The University's Information Systems and Computing group (ISC) has established registration requirements for campus wireless APs in order to record and track use of the unlicensed frequency range utilized by various wireless services. Tracking campus wireless LAN information allows ISC to coordinate the deployment of these LANs in order to avoid situations in which local configurations result in frequency range conflicts that directly impact service to users. To comply with the University's registration requirements, you can register your school/center's wireless LAN online.
