Acceptable Use

Virginia Tech has frequent visitors to our campus.  This is especially
true during the summer when our dorms are open to sports camps, youth
groups (FFA, 4H, etc.), and even some large conferences not "officially"
associated with the University - using dorm and meeting space.  We are
seeing an increase in these individuals bringing computers (primarily
laptops) and wanting to connect to the network.
 
We do require individuals receiving a userid from Virginia Tech to agree
to acceptable use guidelines prior to getting connected.  However, these
individuals (in most cases) will not have a Virginia Tech userid and do
not currently agree to the guidelines.
 
Do other institutions experience such influx of individuals and do you
do anything special to ensure there is appropriate use of your
resources?
