Statewide Internet Access

The Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) has put together the following list of outdoor wireless internet access points at the higher education institutions across the state. While we know completing assignments in parking lots is not ideal, we are committed to providing our students all of the resources we can during this time.

Is wireless internet available on campus?

Yes, all KY public institutions have wireless internet. The public institutions include Eastern Kentucky University (EKU), Kentucky State University (KSU), Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) (16 institutions), Morehead State University (MSU), Murray State University (MuSU), Northern Kentucky University (NKU), University of Kentucky (UK), University of Louisville (UL), and Western Kentucky University (WKU).
