All full-time University faculty and staff have access to the sponsor portal for guest network accounts. To give a guest access to the wireless network, you will need their first and last name, email address, and phone number.
Certain users with elevated access can actually import a batch of guest accounts. These users are normally Trusted Agents or members of the various conference services organizations at the University. For more information, view the Trusted Agents list.
