Sponsored Accounts
Vendors, contractors or consultants performing work for Northeastern University will often require community portal (myNEU), campus network (NUnet) and/or secure wireless (NUwave) access. In these cases, it is the responsibility of the sponsoring department, lab or business office to authorize and Request a Sponsored Account. See the Sponsored Account Requests page to apply online.
Once you’ve activated your sponsored account, please visit our Get Help x4357 and Services pages to learn more.
NUwave Guest Wireless Access
Vendors, contractors and consultants may use NUwave-guest while visiting on campus.
- NUwave-guest is the open access (not secured) wireless network on campus. NUwave-guest is available in all administrative and classroom buildings, as well as residential common areas and libraries.
- NUwave-guest is intended for light web browsing for people who do not have myNEU or Northeastern University desktop login credentials. (If you have received your Sponsored Account, we strongly recommend that you use secure NUwave access with your myNEU credentials).
- To access NUwave-guest, you will need a wireless network card installed on your computer and you will need to be in one the NUwave service areas. If you are running Windows XP, Vista or 7, or Mac OS 10.2 or newer, your computer will most likely automatically detect NUwave-guest.
For more information, see the NUwave Wireless Access FAQs or contact the Service Desk to Get Help x4357.
