• Some Bluestem-authenticated services
  • Some Bluestem-authenticated services, such as the Library Gateway, allow access to any user with a valid NetID. Other services, particularly departmental ones, require your NetID to be added to a list of approved users. If you need access to a particular service, contact the manager of that service to be added to their approved list.

Network access

• UIUCnet Wireless, Walkup, UIUCnet QuickConnect, and Campus VPN access
  Guest NetID holders use the same login methods as regular NetID holders. With these four services combined, guest NetID holders can access the campus network securely from anywhere in the world, whether through a wireless or wired network.
  
  
• UIUCnet Dialup access
  UIUCnet Dialup access provides a free, modem-based alternative for users who have telephone lines but not high speed network access at their location. Guest NetID holders receive five free hours per week, with additional time available for a fee.
