Guest Access

"UofM Guest" SSID

Guests to campus may use the "UofM Guest" network for free. You can use any existing e-mail address to log in to this network.

Please keep in mind that this service is "best effort." It offers no encryption and is limited in bandwidth and capacity.

Managing Guest Accounts through Service Gateway

The Office of Information Technology (OIT) offers customers with Service Gateway access the ability create and manage Guest accounts at no charge.  This option is recommended for guests on campus who need a connection which is not rate-limited. Service Gateway wireless account management offers the following features:

• Ability to designate account creators
• Adjustable date and time
• Ability to remove access
• Secure passwords

Note: Departmental Service Gateway representatives are responsible for ensuring guests abide by the Acceptable Use of Information Technology Resources Policy of the University.

Other Options for Guest Access

Presenters, conference attendees, and other official University guests should use one of the following options for accessing wireless:

• Request Free Sponsored Accounts
• Request Fee-Based Accounts
• Sponsor Conference guests

Note: OIT has discontinued the service by which guests can sponsor themselves by purchasing a wireless account with a credit card. Guests should either use the "UofM Guest" SSID or use one of the above options.

University Students, Staff, & Faculty

University employees and students should log in to the "UofM Secure" network with their Internet ID (X.500) and password to take full advantage of the wireless network.
