Request Wi-Fi for a Special Event

Event organizers can arrange for dedicated wireless network coverage and temporary guest access for conferences, athletics events, ceremonies, and large public gatherings on campus.

Who is Eligible?

Event organizers with a valid NetID.

Prerequisites and Expectations

  • Advance Notice: Requests are required to be submitted at least 5-10 business days prior to the event date to allow adequate time for network assessment, coverage verification, and configuration.
  • Event Details: Requestors must provide the specific event venue/location (indoor/outdoor), expected attendance count, start and end dates/times, and required bandwidth or guest access requirements.

The University Technology Services (UTS) network team will review the request and evaluate the venue's existing Wi-Fi capacity to determine the network configurations needed. Once approved, event-specific credentials or temporary guest access networks will be staged and provided to the event contact prior to the start time. For major high-density events, network engineers will proactively monitor access point health and bandwidth utilization during the event window.
