Overview
Any UT Staff or Faculty member expecting visitors to campus may request a Sponsored Access account that will allow non-throttled wireless access by contacting the HelpDesk at 865-974-9900 or online. Non-sponsored guests may still access the ut-open network with any non-UT affiliated email address.
Connecting to the UT wireless network
- Choose the ut-open wireless network from the list of visible networks. Depending on your device, the next step may differ.
- Windows/Android Devices - Open your web browser (i.e. Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc), and you will be redirected to the "Wi-Fi Portal" for guest/visitor wireless access. If you're not automatically redirected, navigate to http://www.utk.edu.
