Campus-Wide Wi-Fi Upgrade - SLB and VPA
Thanks to campus and system-level financial support, ITS is in the process of implementing a campus-wide infrastructure refresh as part of our efforts to improve Wi-Fi performance. This is a multi-phase project with an expected projected completion date of August 2025.
During the week of June 2, we will be upgrading the Student Life Building (SLB) and the Visual Performing Arts Building (VPA).
During the transition for each building, laptops, tablets, and phones should automatically switch to the new Wi-Fi after a possible brief interruption in service.
