Television (SpectrumU)

Last updated on June 20, 2024

Due to current usage data and recent contract modifications, SpectrumU and traditional coaxial TV services will no longer be available to all faculty, staff and students effective July 1, 2024.

Schools, colleges and divisions (S/C/Ds) can purchase subscriptions through the Division of Information Technology (DoIT). Authorized users and locations will be determined by the S/C/Ds that fund these subscriptions. Service will be limited to these specified locations.
