Commuter students must meet the following criteria to register a MAC address for an on campus network connection: 1. Be a registered student 2. Live off-campus (Allerton is considered on-campus as data ports are in the apartments) 3. Cannot be a University employee other than of the student type. Student employees may register their personal laptops in the commuter domain even if they use it in the course of their job at KSU.
