How to Request Guest Wireless Access

Body

Faculty and staff (not affiliates or students) can sponsor and create a temporary wireless account for university guests/visitors through these steps:  

  1. Open a browser to the Guest Access Management page. (Note: This site can only be accessed from on campus).
  2. Log in with your eID and password.
  3. Insert the Name of the Guest requiring the wireless access.
    • If the request is for an Event, the Event name can be used in replace of a single name.
  4. Insert an email address where the Guest will receive the instructions on how to log into JMU-Visitors.
    • A phone number is not required unless you wish to have a text message of the registration sent to you.  If you desire a text (sms) message, ensure that the full number including the area code is provided.
    • International numbers will not receive the automated text message.
    • The Guest's carrier will also be required if using the text option.
  5. Select how long the Guest will require access to JMU-Visitors. The minimum is one (1) day to two (2) weeks.
  6. A Self-assigned Password will be created automatically. This will be emailed to the guest once the request has been submitted.
  7. Ensure that the Send Email option is checked and if required click the Send Text option.
  8. Select the Agreement option.
  9. Click Create.

Note:  If a request is needed for a specific date or date-range that the form does not allow, please contact the JMU IT Help Desk at 540-568-3555 to gather the additional information.

Additional information about this service can be found on the Guest Wireless Network page.
