2.7 - Wireless Networks

On campus, there are two wireless networks available for faculty/staff to use: WIFI@OU and HSCSTUDENT.

WIFI@OU
This is the OUHSC secure wireless network that enables full access to the OUHSC network.  Because it is full access, this network requires all connecting devices (personal and University-owned) to be registered, encrypted, and audited by central IT.  The auditing process verifies the computer encryption status as well as manages removable media encryption.  No personal information or activity logs are collected.

Go here to register your device for WIFI@OU. This will then trigger an appointment to be scheduled by the College’s Tier 1 support personnel.

HSCSTUDENT
This is the network designated for students, faculty, and staff that allows basic web access.  No file shares are accessible on this network.  However, an encrypted smartphone or tablet accessing the email exchange system will still work.  Instructions on how to connect to the HSCSTUDENT network can be found here (Mac, Windows, Android, iPhone).
