Wireless
Wireless Access
UNC affiliates
Wireless access via the UNC network is available to UNC faculty, staff and students. For information and instructions on how to configure your Wi-Fi card see the ITS guide Connecting to the UNC Networks.
Guests & Visitors
Guest wireless access is available in HSL for visitors with their own laptop or Wi-Fi enabled device. "Search for networks" and connect to the SSID named UNC-Guest.
UNC libraries' online resources can not be accessed through the UNC-Guest. Guest access to UNC-subscriptions of electronic journals is only available through HSL's computers on the first floor arc in front of the elevators.
Note: UNC-Guestl is not a secure network so it is highly recommended that UNC-affiliates use the UNC-secure network. Register your laptop or other mobile device with the campus network.
