Guest Access to CSU's Wireless Network

Using a computer in the Lory Student Center

Two types of network connections are available in the Lory Student Center. The first is wireless and can be accessed by either someone affiliated with the University or a guest. The second is a hard wire connection which is only available in the meeting rooms upon request.

By using the CSU guest network, you agree to abide by the university's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), which can be found here: http://www.acns.colostate.edu/?page=aup. Use of the CSU network may be monitored for AUP compliance and for general troubleshooting. Traffic on the CSU guest network is not encrypted, so be cautious about sending personal information over the network.
