ID and CampusNet/CampusPass Password

To access the Internet or Network on campus, you will need your CSU ID number and your CampusPass password (previously called CampusNet password). If you do not know your password, please contact the Call Center at 687-5050.

Internet Access on Campus

You can access the Internet from almost any computer on campus (Some departments may limit Internet access on their computers). Computers are available in the Campus Connection Lounge (MC Atrium) and General Purpose Labs (BU16, BU23, SH128, MC406, RT403, and Fenn CC) and laptops can be used in many locations using a network card (each General Purpose Lab, the libraries, and other areas) or anywhere using a wireless card. College computing labs and specialized computing labs are also available with special hardware and software.

Is there a time limit?

There is no time limit for on campus use of the Network or Internet using the General Purpose Labs, Campus Connection Lounge, or most labs. Loaner laptops are lent for 4 hours from the Mobile Campus.

What software is available?

Each college has computer labs with various software specific to their students. The General Purpose Labs (BU16, BU23, MC446/447, SH128, RT403, Fenn CC), Campus Connection Lounge and Mobile Campus have more general software. A list of software and locations is available.

Laptops on Campus

You can use a laptop on campus and still connect to the Internet via WoWnet using a Cisco wireless card (our wireless network) or network drops using a network card (Instructions for set-up at bottom of this page). Network drops are available in each General Purpose Lab and in a few other labs (Library, Law, Business, and Urban).
