As for the available access areas and eligibility for the On-Campus Wi-Fi System, please see the User’s Guide.
The ways to use the Access Point Connections used to differ on the Tokyo campus and the Tsukuba campus. With the Access Point Connections on both campuses integrated as of September 2011, you can use the Access Point Connections on the Tokyo campus in the same way as on the Tsukuba campus.
The On-campus Wireless LAN System is installed under an assumption that mostly faculty members use it to download course materials in the classroom. The number of accesses may exceed the assumption when a lot of students in the same classroom utilize it simultaneously. In such cases, the system may be temporarily unavailable.
Notes for the On-Campus Wi-Fi System
You are requested to carefully read the relevant notes on the access point connection before use the system.
The passphrase that is required for connection will be altered periodically.

For Sub-network Administration Committee members
ACCC has installed access points of the on-campus wireless LAN system as part of improvement on information environment for undergraduates and graduates. For the undergraduates, access points are installed mainly in lecture rooms listed in the course catalog, whereas access points for the graduates are installed according to the requests from education organizations. Accordingly, ACCC has no plans to newly install access points elsewhere than these installation sites.
It is possible to install new access points and add them to the on-campus wireless LAN system at the expense of a corresponding campus organization.
Installation policy and installation notification form of on-campus wireless LAN access points (in Japanese)
How to obtain the installation policy and installation notification form: Go to the Committee page of the vulnerability report distribution system (the page with the purple top) and select the corresponding item from the right menu of the Help page.
ACCC periodically checks the classrooms listed in the latest course catalog and install access points into newly listed rooms. If there is any listed classroom where the access point is missing, please let us know.
