ITS for Visitors
Connecting to Wireless
ULvisitor allows for open, short-term use. With no sign-in required, this connection is primarily for UofL's visitors and guests who need wireless access. WiFi sessions on ULvisitor are limited to 6 hours on HTTP and HTTPS sites and sessions automatically log out after 30 minutes of inactivity.
ULsponsor is our wireless network for frequent or short-term guests, such as vendors, to UofL. Sponsorship by a UofL Faculty or Administrative staff is required for this type of WiFi account.
To use the ulvisitor service on campus:
- Select the SSID ulvisitor from your device's list of available wireless networks.
- Open a browser and load any URL; you will be redirected to an access page (on some mobile devices, the access page should open automatically).
- Click Accept to acknowledge the terms of use. Your browser will be sent to a confirmation page and from there you can get online.
NOTE: If your home page is set to a secure web page (a page with a url that starts with "https://"), then ulvisitor wireless will be unable to redirect your browser to our login page. Changing your home page setting to a non-protected page should correct this problem. We recommend using http://neverssl.com to overcome this known issue.

NOTE: If your home page is set to a secure web page (a page with a url that starts with "https://"), then ulsponsor wireless will be unable to redirect your browser to our login page. Changing your home page setting to a non-protected page should correct this problem. We recommend using http://neverssl.com to overcome this known issue.
