What is the Network Admission Control System?

When your computer connects to the wireless network and you open a web browser, your web browser will be redirected to a login page where you enter your University of La Verne e-mail account username and password. Your computer will then be scanned by our Network Admission Control System to ensure that your computer has a working antivirus program with an up-to-date definition file and up-to-date operating system security patches installed. The Network Admission Control System will help ensure that we comply with the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) federal law and also help protect your computer from other computers infected with malware.
