WIND Status

When I started as Delegate At-Large for Communications Amit charged me with applying for WIND access. In summary, WIND allows students to log into any website with their UNI. You do this all the time when using library web resources or to check courseworks etc. WIND was also what was used to authenticate students for the recent elections.

The reason WIND is important is because it can be used to limit access to a web resource. This could be useful for privacy of a forum or because CUIT requires a certain guarantee of exclusivity before they'll assist the GSSC with certain web development tasks.

I have completed and submitted the WIND Request document to Dean Stellini. For reference I you can see a copy of the document here.

Thanks,

Brody
