Wireless Networking Policy

From ITS Wiki

Information Technology Services (ITS) currently provides wireless Internet connectivity to select locations on the Centre campus. It is available in the Warehouse (Combs Student Center), Cowan Dining Commons, Crounse Hall, the Library, Sutcliffe, and all residential buildings.

A few residential buildings are wireless only; 129 5th St., 125 5th St., 123 5th St., 125 St. Mildred's Ct., Rhodes House, 322 College St., 518 Grant St., 519 Grant St.

The wireless network is vulnerable to a number of security threats, including but not limited to:

• Viruses
• Slower service due to outside users occupying bandwidth
• Unauthorized access to the College intranet by outside users

In order to maintain a minimum level of security of the and to minimize these risks, the following guidelines have been developed cooperatively by ITS and Student Congress.

• Students residing on campus MAY NOT operate a personally-owned access point. This restriction will eliminate interference of competing signals and maintain a better working environment for students.

To ensure safety to the students and the college, ITS will monitor all wireless access points and make security changes when necessary. If you have questions about any aspect of this policy, please contact ITS (x5575) / helpdesk@centre.edu.
