Wireless Networks
SFCCsecure
All users should connect to the “SFCCsecure” SSID using your Username and password. SFCCsecure improvements:
- After the first time, you will only need to login again when you change your password.
- The network is encrypted for your protection.
- Students and employees using SFCC laptops are automatically connected.
SFCCguest
SFCCguest is a legacy un-encrypted SSID for visitors to campus.
- The system’s “captive portal” requires re-authentication each time you reconnect to the network.
- We ask students and employees move their devices to SFCCsecure. If you have any questions or concerns with this process you can stop by the IT Services office located in Hopkins 719, or call the Help Desk at (866) 295-3070 (24/7).
