University of Hawai’i (UH) faculty and staff may request access to the UH Wireless Internet network for their visitors.
VIA provides visitors access to services that use the ITS authentication infrastructure for access control. Visitors may be granted access for up to one year. These services include the ITS managed wireless services on the UH Mānoa campus and other UH campuses. You would typically login with your UH username and password to access wireless services. Note that many schools and departments also have their own wireless networks with their own access control; this service does not apply to any of them unless they use the ITS access control service.
Sponsoring Visitor Access
Visitors must be sponsored by an active member of the UH faculty or staff. Sponsors are responsible for providing technical support including resetting passwords for their guest(s).
Visitors must adhere to all applicable UH policies when using UH network resources. Sponsors are responsible for the actions of their visitor(s).
Unauthorized access is prohibited by law in accordance with Chapter 708, Hawaii Revised Statutes; all use is subject to University of Hawaii Executive Policy E2.210.
Utilizing the Sponsor a Visitor option, a sponsor can reset a visitor's password, as well as expire their access if it is no longer needed.
Visitors - Change Your Password
Visitor's can change their password provided they know their current VIA password. If they do not, they should contact their sponsor and the sponsor can reset the password for their visitor. If the visitor knows their current VIA password, use the Change VIA Password option.
