Wireless Bleed

If you are near one of the hotspots listed above, you may experience wireless bleed from a nearby access point. That means your wireless-ready laptop may see Calvin Wireless, but the signal won't be strong enough to make a reliable connection. This may also happen in some classrooms.

Responsible Use of Technology

As with any technology on campus, you are expected to adhere to Calvin's Policy on Responsible Use of Technology available at http://www.calvin.edu/it/itpolicies/responsibleuse.htm. In addition, please see Appendix A: Statement on Wireless Networking Devices
