Internet (WiFi) Solutions
Hotspot Recommendations & Funding
You can temporarily add a hotspot to your mobile plan to access internet off campus. Contact your mobile phone provider to discuss your options. IT suggests adding the unlimited data option in order to save money and minimize disruption to your work. Once you’ve added a hotspot to your mobile plan, there are two options for setting up a hotspot: 1) turning on your smart device’s built-in hotspot or 2) purchasing a hotspot device from your mobile provider, an electronics store, or online (Best Buy, Apple, Target, Amazon, Walmart, etc.).
Need assistance with funding your hotspot purchase? Submit a request through the Tulane donor-funded Hurricane Relief Fund for Students. Note: Emergency funding is not guaranteed.
Onsite Internet Spaces
Tulane is providing temporary internet spaces on or near both the downtown and uptown campuses for students who do not have internet access or a stable connection at this time. Please do not attempt to go to other locations on the uptown campus (other than the locations listed below) to access internet at this time. To monitor additional internet spaces, visit the Forward TUgether Communications and check for updates under Student Affairs.
