You will need to use a computer to get through your program. All examinations are given on computer.

Wireless access on campus

The College of Health Professions (the Marriott Health Building) and the Department of Radiologic Sciences currently have Wireless Internet connection available. If you have a laptop and would like to be able to access the internet on campus (no fees), you may do so through the WSU website.

Two ways to get access:

1. The student can take his/her laptop to Lampros Hall and go to the Help Desk on the second floor. There are technicians there that can help them register their laptop into the University system.

It can be done online.

Click on Request Wireless Network Access
Input the Ethernet or MAC address* from the wireless card and the Operating System, and Create Account.

* To find the Ethernet or MAC address, the user can go to Start, Run, type CMD, and Enter. At the DOS prompt, enter ipconfig/all. Locate the Wireless card (most laptops have a wire and a wireless entry on this screen), the Physical Address is there. It's a twelve characters, with no zeroes or L's (only 0-9, A-F).

That will put the computer into the database for access to the system. It can take 10-15 minutes before the account is active and ready. Most laptops will require you to reinitialize the card by restarting or doing a Repair (release and renew) of the wireless card. Then simply connect to the WaveLAN Network (an unsecure connection).
