Scheduled face-to-face classes will not take place on campus. At the discretion of faculty, some in-person classes may be held remotely. Faculty will communicate directly, so please check your email and course site for updates. 

Classes that are already scheduled to be fully remote will continue as usual unless otherwise communicated by your instructor.

Staff who are able to work remotely should coordinate with their supervisors as appropriate.

Information Technology

Wireless Network

Stay Connected Anywhere

Western New England University offers Wireless network access throughout the campus and in all residence halls.

Staff, faculty, and students should select the "WNE" wireless network and then go to the Internet to authenticate using their University User ID and password. They will only be required to authenticate to the "WNE" network one time per semester.

Guests only have access to the "WNEGuest" network. Although the WNEGuest network does not require authentication, access to some University systems may be limited or denied from that network.
