The two methods for obtaining access for BlakeGuest wireless

What is the difference between using a self registered and a department Guest account for connecting to Guest wireless at Blake?

For self registered guests, the need for wireless is typically for a one time event or visit. An example might be parents here to watch a sporting event or have connectivity during activities at school. 

For users that are provided with Guest credentials from a host at Blake, the wireless will remain active for the duration of the school year. These accounts provide a fast, easy way to provide community members and visitors with a way to have connectivity for the school year.
