The University of Alaska provides Ethernet access to students, faculty, and staff on campus. All dorm rooms have Ethernet access, as well as the majority of offices on campus. In addition, OIT offers wireless Ethernet in various locations on campus, as well as walk-up ports.

For information on how to set up Ethernet in your dorm room, download and read Internet in the Residence Halls.
