Wi-Fi Protected Access – UA-WPA-PSK

WPA-PSK stands for WiFi Protected Access, Pre-Shared Key.  It is a mid-level security configuration for wireless network access that provides encryption and dynamic session keys to resist eavesdropping or session hijacking.  It provides improved security for private information exchanged over wireless network sessions and so resists identity theft and other security problems that can arise from less secure wireless network connections.

In order to get the password to connect to UA-WPA-PSK, please contact the IT Service Desk at (205) 348-5555.

Scheduled Outages

Routine Maintenance

OIT performs routine maintenance on servers and systems every Sunday from 8 a.m. to noon. Many IT services may be offline intermittently during this time. Network access and computing resources availability (Banner, E-Learning, Exchange server, etc.) may also be affected. Since this is a low-usage period, fewer UA customers will be impacted. For questions, contact the IT Service Desk at (205) 348-5555 or itsd@ua.edu.
