Hi Monika,
My suggestion is that you try to arrive on campus at least an hour before the event (more is better), log in to Wikipedia, and do a test of your ACC permission. If you encounter some kind of problem, a place to get live help for that kind of situation is in the #wikipedia-en-help channel on IRC, or email Pharos and James off-list.
Depending on whether there are any blocks that affect the university campus, you may need the assistance of an ENWP administrator (like Pharos or James) or a checkuser. Checkusers are more difficult to find than administrators, so I'd recommend allowing yourself at least an hour in case it takes that long to find a checkuser to review a request for IPBE.

Thanks for the replies Pharos and Pine. Yes, Pine, you got it right. I have the status, but can't seem to use it because of this vandalism block, it seems. Perhaps this won't apply when I am on campus because of the different IP address, but I can't know until 2:30 when I arrive, and also would love to be able to use my hotspot and not have this block.
You are AWESOME for your quick replies, thanks.

Hi Pharos,
I think that what's she's saying is that she's encountered an account creation rangeblock (as opposed to the regular limit that only limits the number of accounts created) that is preventing her from using her ACC permissions, despite her being logged in. Does she need IPBE?
