The wireless network is engineered in such a way so that any user who has a network that they VPN to, whether a corporate network or another university, can use our wireless network: they merely authenticate to their regular network using their VPN client.

In order to do this they need whatever VPN client their network supports and they need to authenticate on that network. Below are the support pages covering VPN for other universities in the UC system:
