Guest Access

Guest access is available for visitors that are sponsored by faculty or staff. OIT provides faculty and staff with the ability to sponsor temporary guest access to the University of Maryland wireless network. Use of our wireless network is currently restricted to faculty, staff, students and university affiliates who have a Directory ID in the University Directory. Wireless access requires us to authenticate (log in) using our Directory ID and password. The Guest Wireless Access Tool will allow faculty and staff to sponsor up to four temporary Guest IDs. Each ID can last up to 30 days. The tool also provides a mechanism for authorized users to create more than 4 accounts if necessary.
