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

Self Registered Guests: 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. 

Department Guest Accounts: For guests or groups of visiting guests requiring Internet, Department ambassadors can provide a group of users with guest credentials to save time.
