Want to set up a temporary network password for groups? Send a ticket to "Windows Server Group" and request an AD network password for the group.

There are user names already set up for all the Upward Bound groups that stay on campus over the summer. Make a password request for the group, indicating the group name.

• cub.summer (Communications)
• ubms.summer (Math Science)
• ubwp.summer (Wichita Prep)

There is also a user name set up for library.wifi which can also be used for guests. UCATS should indicate the expiration date they have used when they confirm completion of the ticket. NOTE that groups reserving Learning Commons computers should be recorded in LibCal since this stat will not be caught with instruction stats for an individual librarian. 

WSU TV is available in iOS and Android mobile devices and on Roku, Apple TV and Amazon TV apps. Watch video content from video producers across campus, including WSU TV, Strategic Communications, the Ulrich Museum, and more.
