Why is uog-wifi-secure safe?

The uog-wifi-secure wireless network has full encryption from the endpoint (your device) to the wireless access point, making data protection increasingly secure. This encryption greatly minimizes our vulnerability and provides a safe and secure environment for the entire campus community.

Who can access uog-wifi-secure?

This network is exclusive to University staff, faculty, and students (those with central login accounts). It provides access to the internet as well as University systems that are not open to the public.

How do guests to the U of G campus access WiFi?

We have a guest WiFi service that can be accessed by individuals who do not have a central login account so they can access the internet as well as publicly available services while on campus. Please visit guest network access to find out how to use our guest wifi service. If you have an account with another institution, you may be able to use Eduroam.
