Yes! Visitors to campus should connect on the MIT GUEST Wireless Network

Wireless connections for guests and visitors of MIT.

• Visitors connecting this network will be required to provide an e-mail address or mobile phone number to access the network.
• Guest users without access to SMS/text messaging or email (e.g., international travelers without data roaming) can use the “Request Access from Sponsor” option and enter their sponsor's MIT email address. Please visit the technology help desk upon arrival at Check-in and Registration for assistance.

This network is not encrypted, has limited access to the Internet, and is not intended for access to MIT internal resources. Learn more about the MIT GUEST wireless network.

What you need to know:

The MIT GUEST network is separated from the rest of the MIT network with a firewall and network address translation (NAT). This limits the services that will work over this wireless network. For instance, printing to printers over TCP port 631 (CUPS) will not work.
