Web Directory Authentication

In our never-ending pursuit to maintain a high level of security, we will be placing our web directory (MiamiOH.edu/directory) behind authentication on December 16, 2024.

This means that you will need to have a Miami username and password to view the contact information housed in the web directory, as you’ll be asked to log in.

As the web directory is currently open for anyone to view, this could potentially include bad actors and scammers looking for email addresses to send phishing messages to. We are confident that putting the web directory behind authentication will protect the contact info of all faculty, staff, and students, cutting down phishing messages sent to our most vulnerable populations.

Reminder: MU-Wireless Going Away Over Break

Reminder that IT Services will be removing the MU-WIRELESS option from the Miami Wi-Fi environment on Friday, December 20.

MiamiOH-Secure is the replacement for MU-Wireless, providing increased security standards and enhanced capabilities. You can log in to MiamiOH-Secure using your UniqueID and MUnet password.

Good Luck on Exams!

Speaking of winter break, classes are wrapped up, and IT Services wants to wish everyone luck during this finals week! Whether you're faculty, staff, or a student, don't forget to take the time to focus on yourself and give yourself plenty of breaks and rest. You got this!
