Network Access for ECU Guests and Visitors

ECU provides temporary network access to visiting faculty, speakers, contractors, vendors and other guests who require Internet access while on campus, but who do not have a regular PirateID.

Guests must be sponsored by an ECU faculty or staff who request the guest wired passphrase or create a guest wireless account.
