Wireless Access for Visitors

If you are a UW faculty or staff member, you can assign temporary UW NetIDs to visitors for the purpose of accessing the UW's wireless networks.

• Temporary UW NetIDs are only for people who do not have permanent UW NetIDs and will only need access for a short period of time (up to 3 months).
• For people who need longer term access or access to UW NetID services other than wireless, you may request a permanent Personal UW NetID at the sponsored UW NetID request form.
• In assigning a temporary UW NetID to an individual or group you are agreeing to inform those individuals about the ethical use of computers and networks.
• Before you use this service you should read and understand the support roles and responsibilities.

There are two types of temporary UW NetIDs you can assign:

• Personal Temporary UW NetID - This is a UW NetID that would be assigned to a single person for wireless access. Examples: a visiting professor, a visting vendor giving a demo, a person taking a class for two weeks.
  
• Shared Temporary UW NetID - This is a UW NetID that can be assigned to a specific group of people for a short time. Examples: wireless access for conferences, a specific meeting scheduled for non-UW people requiring wireless access.
