Richland One Visitor Wireless Internet Protocols

Updated:  March 5, 2024

The R1_Visitors (School/Site Name) Wi-Fi network is for educational and instructional purposes only.  This network has been established for those that are not affiliated with the district and do not have Richland One email accounts.  All requests for access to the network must be made in advance to authenticate the use of the visitors.  

Department/School sponsors for visitors must complete the Richland One Visitor Network Access Request form at least two (2) business days prior to the day on which the visitor (s) will be on campus and will need access to the network.  A form must be completed for each visitor.  Visitors and their district department/school sponsor will receive a review from the Richland One Information Technology Administration approving the request to access one of R1’s Visitor Access networks. This form is not to be completed by the visitor.  

It is the responsibility of the Departments/School sponsors to ensure their visitor(s) have the R1 Visitor Access to the Internet directions on how to connect to the R1 Visitor Network. 

Departments/Schools that will be sponsoring more than ten (10) visitors for an event will need to gather the required information needed (see form for information) on an Excel document and email the link the Excel document to visitors@richlandone.org at least two (2) business days prior to the day on which the visitors will be on campus and will need access to the network.  Access will not be granted to anyone not provided on the list.  Do not send the attachment to the Excel file.  This is so that if any changes need to be made, you can make them in real time and note the changes in red.   

Access is only approved for the following reasons:

  • Professional learning with a department/school.
  • Presentation with a department/school.
  • Working with students (student teacher, consultant, guest lecturer, etc.)
  • Conducting business with a department/school.

The network is limited in what the visitor can have access to. Some resources that will not be unblocked are Google Docs, You Tube, Vimeo, Dropbox, social media sites, other cloud storage sites, etc.  We are also not able to unblock G-mail, so we encourage visitors to provide district staff with another email address if they need to access their email while on site. 

Access will be monitored on this network at all times. At any time, if malicious traffic is detected, the user will be disconnected from the network and will not be allowed future access.

When completing the form, the Richland One staff member who is submitting the form needs to ensure that the name and email address provided is the same that the visitor(s) will provide upon their arrival as that is what is used to authenticate their access when connecting to the network. 

If access is needed during the weekend and/or after 4:00 pm Monday - Friday, the department/school will be responsible for submitting an Event Support ticket through One to One Plus and paying for a technician to work the event providing access, as all access is provided in real-time. 

It is the responsibility of the Departments/School sponsors to ensure their visitor(s) have the R1 Visitor Access to the Internet directions on how to connect to the R1 Visitor Network. 

Note:  The Richland One Visitor Wi-Fi network is not available for those that rent district facilities.

Visitors may wish to bring a personal hotspot to ensure that they have access to the resources they may need.  

 

As a reminder, this network is not for staff.
