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.
