McCombs Internet Access

You can access the Internet three different ways when you are in the business school complex.

Access to the Public Network is restricted to the University students, faculty, staff, and sponsored guests through the Public Network Authentication System. Students, Faculty, and Staff use their UT EID to log in, or authenticate. Your UT EID must reflect that you are a current student, faculty, or staff member of the University.

Sponsored Guests (such as official visitors, conference attendees, lecturers, etc.) use Guest IDs provided by a host or sponsor to log in. For information on requesting guest accounts, see the last section of this article.
