During this change, some users may experience a brief interruption to their Wi‑Fi connection as devices automatically reconnect to the network.

This update will help improve the security and management of network traffic, with no changes to how users access or use Wi‑Fi services.

No downtime is expected, and any disruption should be minimal and short‑lived.

The University will begin a phased rollout of a new sign-in experience for compatible Windows 11 laptops from 1 June 2026, starting with DDaT staff, followed by a wider rollout from 15 June 2026.

Users will be prompted to set up a PIN at sign-in, with the option to use fingerprint or facial recognition where supported. Password sign-in will remain available as a backup.
