The Oregon State University policy on Network Administration 08-010 can be found at https://policy.oregonstate.edu/UPSM/08-010_university_network_administra.... This policy explicitly states that Information Services is responsible for the university network and empowers Information Services to manage the network in a secure manner. That responsibility includes ensuring all devices are appropriately authorized to be on the network and the authority to remove devices that compromise the security of the network or are in violation of university policy.
Information Services is responsible for the university network.
Authenticate or register your device. This can be done by logging in through an official OSU account (such as your student or staff account), by registering your device directly with Information Services or by having a recognized representative of the university register your device.

The Vice Provost of Information Services may grant exceptions to the requirements in this policy. If you would like to request an exception, please begin by contacting the Office of Information Security.
