Community Visitor Accounts

As part of the Stevens Point community, UWSP often shares its resources. In the case of network access, UWSP has a program called "Community Visitors." Members of the community and UWSP alumni can apply for a UWSP logon and password which will then enable them to log on to designated computers in the reference area of the library or via our campus wireless network. Visitor access to the Reference Room is limited to Library hours only as shown on the Library web site and posted on the Library entry doors.

From the Reference room, visitors will be able to use the Internet, Library catalogs, and software like Microsoft Word. They can pay to print here also.

Accounts are not granted to minors, and applicants agree to abide by UWSP Network Usage Policy; violators will be denied further access to UWSP Computing.

When a Community Visitor attempts to log on to a computer they do not have access to, they will see the following message:

This computer is reserved for UWSP students, faculty, and staff or special university guest account holders. You must be a UWSP student, faculty, or staff member or be assigned a special university guest account in order to log on to this computer. If you are unable to log on to this computer or you are a community visitor with an account that begins with the number "7", there are public access computers in the reference room on the first floor of the library. For more information, please ask the lab assistant or call Information Technology Computer Labs Management at x4156.

Requesting a Community Visitor Account

Community Visitor accounts are only issued to persons 18 years or older presenting a current picture ID at the UWSP Help Desk located in LRC 023.

Normally, requests will be processed in two business days.
