Wireless Policy

Wireless networks use a finite and shared part of the radio spectrum. To ensure that all members of the community have fair access to this system, the University will regulate this airspace. The University reserves the right to limit and restrict access to the wireless airspace on campus. No one may install their own wireless access point on the campus as it may interfere with the University-installed units. Because the wireless infrastructure differs from the wired network, certain limits on bandwidth will be maintained.

In order to insure reliable access to the wireless network, air space must be free of devices that could cause interference. The airspace on the University campus will be monitored for interfering devices. Should any such device be found, the University will notify the party of the issues concerned with the use of that device and require it to be removed/shut down.

User responsibilities and statement of prohibited uses which govern the wired network will also apply to the wireless network. Violations shall be processed according to the guidelines put forth in the University's Acceptable Use Policy Statement.
