Throughout the year, mainly in summer, Residence Life houses guests in the residence halls. These guests are sometimes here for summer camps, sports camps, internships for private companies, or sometimes retirees who spend summers in Wisconsin - normally referred to as snowbirds. As many of these guests are bringing internet-capable devices with them, the issue of service is often brought up.

The following message is distributed by Housing to all guests outlining what services they are allowed / not allowed to use during their time on campus:
During your time in our housing area, you have several methods to access the Internet via our campus network. Your two choices are to connect via the UWGB Guest wireless network or using wired data jacks in each room. General information about accessing the networks is available on our ResNet web site at: https://www.uwgb.edu/housing/services-amenities/technology/
IoT Connection
For Smart TVs, snowbirds will need to be connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) network. To do this, complete the following:
1. From the snowbird, get from them their name and phone number, the make and model of the device they want to connect, the device's MAC address) and the room number and residence hall they're currently residing in.
2. Create a ticket in Ivanti with this information.
3. Forward this ticket to INF.
