Guest & Visitor Accounts

Network Accounts

Northwest College believes that all use of its network, including access to internet resources, must be traceable to a named-user. Anonymous access to the network is not allowed. Information Security best practices call for the ability to associate network traffic with individual users in conjunction with federal law, or the ability to gather information on potentially illegal activity.

Guest & Visitor Accounts

Guests of the College, including employees or students from other campuses, may utilize Internet access through a self-registration process for 7 days from any personal device. Anyone wishing to utilize a Northwest College device with limited secured network access must request an account from a Campus Sponsor. A Campus Sponsor is defined as a full-time employee of the college.
