If you live on campus in a residence hall or residential colleges, you can use the Xfinity on Campus streaming service. This service is provided by Residential Services as part of your housing contract. If you live in graduate housing (i.e., McManus or Engelhart), in Greek housing (i.e., fraternity or sorority house), or off campus, you are not eligible to use this service.
To access
Xfinity on Campus, go to
Cable and Streaming. Note that you must be on campus to access the service. You can stream from your residence, the library, or anywhere else you're connected to the Northwestern wireless or wired network. You cannot access the service if you're off campus, even you use VPN. This means you can't use this service when you're home over the summer or during breaks.
