STUDENT AFFAIRS

New FCC Policy Affecting Wireless
Wireless access points turn off near window and external walls when police are patrolling the area. A new FCC regulation passed over the summer that dictates when police are patrolling areas with wireless networks, to avoid interference with their scanners, the closet access points will briefly turn off. Be aware, if you are sitting near a window or external wall your wireless may cut out occasionally.

Emergency Texts
All students can register their cell phone to receive emergency texts. Please go to this link: www1.umn.edu/prepared/txtu/
