1)      Do you allow guests on your wireless network? Yes

a.       If you allow guests, what steps do they need to take to gain
access to the network (eg. sponsorship, MAC registration, open network)?

- They can either fill out a for with a sponsor to create a long-term
account (We require a Driver's License number), or they can create an
account by connecting to the open Guest Network, and putting in their email
address and phone number in the captive web portal and our system texts
them their password (8 Hour Account)

b.      If you require sponsorship or device registration, can you explain
the process or give me a pointer to your policy?

2)      Is your wireless network completely open in any part of your campus
(eg. Library, student center, event spaces, athletic fields, etc.)?

- On the campus side we have 3 primary networks:

1) 802.1X for Faculty/Staff
2) 802.1X for Students
3) Open, Captive Web Portal for Guests (Guest can also authenticate with a
sponsored account on this page)

- In the dorms we do have open networks, but they are secured with a NAC
(Bradford) in the back-end that authenticates and checks their machine for
compliance.
