Exceptions
- Currently, there are no predefined exceptions to the Wireless Network policy
- Exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis
To make a request for a wireless (wi-fi) network exception, please complete the IT Policy Exception Form.
Exception requests will be processed within 10 business days of receipt of the request. If an exception is created, the exception will be audited on an annual basis. The owner of the system or a listed designee must respond to the annual audit and verify that the exception is still required.
Upon approval of the exception, OIT staff will work with the requester to establish parameters for placing their system on the network. To establish appropriate placement on the network, the following information will need to be provided and/or developed:
- Audit and risk mitigation mechanisms to protect sensitive data and preserve the integrity of the UNLV network
- Technical documents that detail the wireless network's RF (radio frequency) characteristics
- Topology diagrams showing interconnects with the UNLV network, the Internet, and other private networks
- Beginning/end dates and hours of operation for the wireless network
- Communication strategy for adjacent customers who may experience interference from the wireless device
- Designation of primary and secondary points of contact who will respond to changes or problems related to the system
- Documentation of the security and authorization mechanisms for connection to the network
Exceptions will be reviewed annually. Changes to the exception may only be requested by the system owner or a documented designee appointed by the owner.
