As the trend to use your own, personal devices within the university environment increases, so does the need and expectation to have access to the internet at all times and wherever you are.

This is also the case when it comes to conferences and other academic events on campus. But how do you go about to make life easier for your and your conference attendees?

To apply for wireless access for your conference or event, just follow these simple instructions.

E-mail help@sun.ac.za with the following information*

 

Name of conference/visitor

Location of conference (building, room)

Start date and time
End date and time
Interdepartmental requisition (OE 6414​ for the amount of R300-00 per day)

Contact person

 

* E-mail has to be sent 14 days prior to the conference or arrival of visitor to ensure that there are existing WAPs (wireless access points ) at the location)

 

As soon as the request is received and after the SSID –  “service set identifier,” (username and password) is created, you will be notified by e-mail or telephonically.  When conference goers or visitors are inside the WIFI area, their equipment will pick up the WIFI  and they will be able to connect.
