What This Service Is
Guest Wireless is Bowdoin's BOWDOIN-GUEST network for campus visitors. Visitors don't need an account or a request to get online — when a guest connects to BOWDOIN-GUEST, a portal page opens automatically to complete a short, self-service connection that provides 24-hour access. This service is where a guest can report a problem if the guest network isn't working.
Who It's For
Campus visitors and guests using the BOWDOIN-GUEST network. You do not need a Bowdoin login to report a problem here.
Bowdoin faculty, staff, and students: use the secure
BOWDOIN or
eduroam networks instead — see
Campus Wi-Fi in the
Internet & Networking category.
How to Get Started / Get Help
To get online as a guest, connect your device to BOWDOIN-GUEST and follow the portal page that appears. If the guest network isn't working for you, press the button below to report the problem.

Service Promise
Guest network reports are reviewed during Service Desk hours. Because guest access is intended for short visits, we work to address connection problems as quickly as possible. For urgent help while on campus, contact the Service Desk at (207) 725-3030.
