MetaAccess (formerly Impulse SafeConnect) is a NAC (network access control) tool to help ensure that only those with valid Coastal Carolina University credentials are able access University wireless network resources. It also ensures that each connecting system meets security requirements in order to keep the network safe for all users.

- A policy key is installed
- Authentication using CCU username/password
- Operating system patches are installed and up-to-date
- Antivirus software is installed and up-to-date
