configure time capsule to join an existing wireless network?

How do I configure time capsule to join an existing wireless network? I bought a time capsule for my daughter at college. She is on the university's wireless network. I would like the time capsule to join that network so she can back up to it while she's on the network surfing the web.

Time Capsule-OTHER, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

It does not work like that.


If you join the TC to uni wireless network, you will no longer have any access to the TC other than through the uni wifi.. the TC becomes a dumb client on the network.. No ethernet works, no more using the TC as a wireless AP.. sorry it is just going to push the entire backup through the university wifi system and it is going to load the system and expose the TC to the entire uni.
