Connecting to the Internet

Students would like to have a stable internet connection, because it is one of the most important required facilities for study, seek, and communication with family and friends. The university has provided Wi-Fi internet to help students both on the campus and at the dorms. With an exclusive account, students can use safe and fast internet on all floors and rooms. Moreover, the libraries have equipped with computers, having access to the internet. New international students can easily connect to the Internet on their phones and laptops.

Step 1: Connect to Tadbir Wi-Fi Network

At first, turn on Wi-Fi on your phone. When you have Wi-Fi turned on, your device automatically detects nearby Wi-Fi networks. Tap Tadbir Wi-Fi network. Then, you will be asked to enter the password. If you don't know the password to the Tadbir Wi-Fi network, you can ask for it from the seniors, classmates, or staff members. After you connect, the network will be saved, so that when your phone is near and Wi-Fi is on, your phone automatically connects to that network.
