Campus-Wide Wi-Fi Service
Wi-Fi (wireless network) has become an important way to communicate, collaborate and learn on college campuses.
Vision 2020’s Facilities and Environment Working Group identified Wi-Fi as a required standard for information technology at NIU. ITS is working with the Office of the Provost and Housing to achieve 100 percent Wi-Fi coverage in all student and academic spaces.
See the Interactive Campus Web Map and choose Wireless Internet under Legend to see current wireless coverage.
