1. You will need your JCU username and BannerID. You must sign up using your JCU email account. Do this initial sign-up while on JCU's secure IP range (that means it will not work if on the unsecured, guest wireless.) During this time, you will need to set up and renew your access through the University's VPN, instructions from ITS: https://jcu.edu/its. After the initial sign-up you can access the WSJ from anywhere on any device.
