Information about both wireless services can be found on the Wi-Fi information page.  

Purdue staff members may request AirLink account(s) for distribution to Purdue guest(s) for legitimate purposes, such as those in need of access to Purdue resources while on campus. We are required to maintain accurate identity information for the guests who use AirLink accounts. 

Guest account request forms can be found here: 

In general, please allow two business days for processing. Accounts for multiple-guest requests will be ready in two business days, or next business day if submitted before noon. Accounts for individual-guest requests will be ready the next business day, or same day if submitted before noon.
