The wireless network is an extension of MSUM's wired network infrastructure, which provides increased mobility and flexibility for campus network users.

  • MSUM students, faculty, staff:
    If you have an active DragonID and email you can use the wireless network. You must know your password.
  • Community patrons are not granted access.
  • Visiting presenters and scholars can use the wireless network but need to work with the appropriate college technician to get it set up.
