Department and College Guests and Visitors

The osuguest network is available in many locations on campus and provides wireless access for guests and visitors. The osuguest network provides unencrypted wireless access and requires a username and password. Guest and visitor usernames and passwords can be assigned by designated wireless guest account provisioners in your department. Please refer to the requirements for more information.
