Home Getting Connected

Welcome! The resources below will get you started on getting connected while on campus. For a full list of all student digital resources please visit University Information Technology.

University Networks


Wired connections are available in student housing, computer labs, and office areas. Campus also has four wireless networks: UConnect, UGuest, ULink, and eduroam.

  • UConnect is a secure connection requiring a valid uNID login. Most users can visit onboard.utah.edu to connect a device.
  • UGuest is an unsecured, open-access network for visitors with limited bandwidth.
  • ULink is the university’s wireless network for Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as PlayStation, Xbox, Roku, Chromecast, etc.
  • Eduroam allows students, faculty, and staff from participating institutions to obtain internet connectivity across campus and when visiting other participating institutions.

 

Campus Help Desk


The Campus Help Desk is staffed from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. (MT) Monday-Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (MT) Saturday-Sunday.

To quickly find answers to your questions, search the UIT Knowledge Base. If you still need help, call 801-581-4000.

For less urgent issues, you may also email helpdesk@utah.edu. For IT outage information, visit IT Services Status page at uofu.status.io or follow @UofUITStatus on X.

We're aware that some students are using third-party routers, which negatively impacts the Wi-Fi for everyone. UIT is actively improving the Wi-Fi experience.  Please report connectivity issues through our Help Desk. This helps us identify areas needing attention and enhance Wi-Fi speed.

Xfinity on Campus (XOC)


Xfinity on Campus (XOC) is a Comcast streaming service for students in Housing & Residential Education (HRE), and other buildings subscribed to University Television (UTV). The UTV-administered service features a lineup of 260+ channels (PDF); thousands of on-demand programs; TV Go, which includes 60+ channels for iOS and Android; and 20 hours of cloud-hosted DVR storage per user.

Red Print


RedPrint allows you to send print jobs to the RedPrint cloud to be retrieved any time at any RedPrint machine. Simply tap your UCard to the card reader at any RedPrint machine, then proceed with printing. Copiers have been strategically placed in campus buildings, with more locations on the way.
