Wireless networking in IUB and IUPUI campus housing

At Indiana University Bloomington and IUPUI, University Information Technology Services (UITS) is in the process of extending the new IU Secure wireless network beyond the common areas and into every student room of the residence halls. If IU Secure is not yet available in your IUB residence hall, you may operate a properly configured wireless access point (WAP) as an exception to the IT-19 Extending the University Data Network and IT-20 Wireless Networking policies from the University Information Policy Office (UIPO). Once IU Secure is available in your residence hall, this exception will no longer apply, and you will have to remove your WAP from the network. For details, see At IUB, if my residence hall does not yet have IU wireless network access, how do I configure a wireless access point?

Note: If you are a student, faculty member, or staff member at Indiana University Bloomington or IUPUI, use the IU Secure network for wireless access. For help, see What is IU Secure? If you are visiting IU, instead see At IUB and IUPUI, what is a Network Access account, and how do I get one?

For a list of UITS-supported secure wireless sites at IUB and IUPUI, see the UITS wireless sites page.

To connect to IU Secure, follow the appropriate instructions:

To connect to the IU Wireless SSID if IU Secure is unavailable, you must configure a virtual private network (VPN) connection for full access to IU resources. The VPN connection provides authentication and encryption when you use the wireless network. For help configuring a VPN connection for your operating system, see The basics of VPN at IU.
