Many common devices residential students have are able to connect to the NKU network. To connect your device to the NKU Wireless Network, you must register your device. It can then connect to Norse_Village.
Norse_Village uses a Web Authorization page (https://netreg.nku.edu) to register devices to either an NKU account or a guest account. Guests are allowed to create a guest account through the Web Authorization page. If the device does not have a web browser to complete registration, you can follow the instructions for manually registering devices at the Wireless/Wired Device Registration KB article.
No wireless printing is permitted in residential housing. Printers must connect only to a personal computer. If you have a printer, remember to pack a USB cord to connect your printer.
Personal routers are not allowed.
