Campuses:
For visitors without UofM internet accounts, there are two ways to access the wireless network.
Visitors from other educational institutions can generally use the eduroam wireless network, using their credentials from their home institution. UMN doesn't appear to have any good directions for setting this up at present, but the US eduroam site has some links to user support resources
More general information on guest accounts is available at https://it.umn.edu/services-technologies/comparisons/compare-available-types-internet
If you have visitors who need wireless access for longer than the above 4-5 days, and if they can't use the “UofM Guest” or “eduroam” networks described above, a sponsored account is needed. Staff and faculty can request sponsored accounts here
<note warning> For longer-term visitors, you might want to consider whether a Person of Interest (POI) account might be a better solution. POI accounts also allow for a continuation of identity if a user has previously had an InternetID at the university. </note>
Note though, that this only sets your visitor up with wireless network access. If they require any other services, such as a U card, or logging in to Physics Windows workstations, you should consult our visitor accounts information
Registered wired network access is not available for guests apart from very special circumstances.
