How much does it cost to attach to existing wireless service?

The fee for everyone is $5 per month per wireless user although, for students, the cost is covered by existing student fees.  This charge is consistent with the $5 per month per port to access the Missouri State University networks and gives the wireless user access to 100% of the wireless hot-spots or service areas provided by the University.

Students:

All university students have wireless access.  The cost of this service is covered by SCUF (Student Computer Usage Fee). SCUF is paid by all Missouri State University students and is used to purchase and maintain student-related information technologies.  Staff or faculty taking classes utilizing fee waivers do not qualify because no SCUF fees are paid by those students.

Staff and Faculty:

The fee for staff and faculty to use the wireless network is $5 per month which must be ordered through Telecommunications Services. The order must be from someone with budget authorization and must include a budget number and the Private ID for each wireless user.  The fee will then be billed to the department each month until the service is cancelled by the department.

What about establishing new wireless service areas?
