Changes to guest/event Wi-Fi — Starting Nov 6

ITS is improving the way guests connect to Wi-Fi on campus. The improvements will make requesting guest or event Wi-Fi quick and easy, and guests will benefit from faster, more secure Wi-Fi.

Starting Mon, Nov 6, when guest or event Wi-Fi is required, simply submit a ticket by visiting https://itservicedesk.ufv.ca/TDClient/52/ITServicesPortal/Requests/ServiceDet?ID=380.

You’ll have three different options to choose from that have been created to best meet the needs of you and your guests/event.

Option 1: Guest – Generic

The best option for when a small group of guests are expected on campus but names, email addresses, or phone numbers are unknown. A generic login and password will be created for the guests to access Wi-Fi up to a maximum of 180 days (six months).

This option can also be selected if you require a generic login and password for when guests are unexpectedly on campus and require Wi-Fi.

Option 2: Guest – Named

Best option for when a group of guests are expected on campus and names, email addresses or phone numbers are known in advance. A specific login and password will be created for the guest and an email or text will be sent directly to the guest to access Wi-Fi for a maximum of 180 days (six months).

Option 3: Event

Best option for when a group of guests (more than five) are expected on campus for five days or less and names, email addresses or phones are unknown. A generic ‘text to join’ option will be created for the specific group of guests.
