Note: Starting in 2024, the campus network is being upgraded over a multi-year process. As our infrastructure team updates the network in each building, you’ll notice different wireless networks. “½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï1x” is being replaced with “½ñÈճԹϔ in the upgraded buildings. Community members may need to connect to "½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï1x" or "½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï" and visitors will need to connect to "½ñÈÕ³Ô¹ÏXenia" or "½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï Guest" depending on their location on campus.
