Scope
This temporary exception to Policy IT-20 applies ONLY to residents operating technology resources in their assigned residences in specified University Owned Apartment buildings on the IU-Bloomington (IUB) campus. This exception shall terminate on February 16, 2025 ("expiration date").
Rationale
The Office of the Vice President for Information Technology wishes to extend wireless services to students in University Owned Apartment buildings at the IUB campus; however, the university’s implementation of wireless services to these buildings is not expected in the short-term.
Accordingly, OVPIT has agreed to allow students who reside in certain specified University Owned Apartment buildings on the IUB campus, to connect personal wireless access points to the university network until the expiration date under the conditions outlined below which are designed to protect the security of the IU network.
Exception Statement
Students residing in University Owned Apartment buildings referenced below may connect their own wireless access points to the university network without obtaining individual exception approvals, provided:
- They comply fully with published IU Wireless Networking Standards, in order to fulfill the spirit and purpose of Policy IT-20; and
- They terminate any wireless access points they have connected no later than the expiration date above.
