Overview
Our University of Louisville wireless network provides four different connections on all campuses with 802.11n dual band 2.4/5GHz WiFi. We recommend using our ITS on-boarding tool to assist with the set-up of your devices for the best connectivity and with extended certified access (up to 5 years).
The four primary types of wireless access are available, depending upon your needs and UofL sign-in options, are Eduroam, ULsecure, ULsponsor, and ULvisitor.
For those living in the residence halls, UofL has partnered with Apogee to provide residential network (ResNet) access.
Eduroam
Eduroam allows UofL students, faculty, and staff to easily obtain wi-fi internet connectivity across campus. Eduroam also provides wi-fi access for campus visitors from participating institutions without the need to obtain UofL guest credentials. Eduroam is the preferred UofL wireless network for students, faculty and staff based on the most secure encryption and authentication standards available.
Logging-in to verify your UofL credentials to initially set up the service is required. Use our ITS on-boarding tool to begin.
ULsecure
ULsecure is another UofL secure wireless network for students, faculty and staff which encrypts data in order to prevent intrusions and interception of traffic. This Wi-Fi connection also requires a valid UofL userID and password.
ULsponsor
ULsponsor is our wireless network that allows unlimited but unencrypted access for frequent or short-term guests to UofL. Sponsorship by a UofL faculty or administrative staff is required for this type of WiFi account.
To create accounts and register devices go to the device registration portal.
ULvisitor
ULvisitor allows for open, short-term use. With no sign-in required, this connection is primarily for UofL’s visitors and guests who need wireless access.
WiFi sessions on ULvisitor are limited to 6 hours on HTTP and HTTPS sites and sessions automatically log out after 30 minutes of inactivity.
ResNet
The University of Louisville has partnered with Apogee to provide residential network (ResNet) services.
Students can sign up for Internet service, or upgrade their service plan, via Apogee's myResNet student portal (Apogee account required).
