Connect to the Wireless Networks

Wireless Networks

SFCCsecure

Students and employees should connect to the “SFCCsecure” SSID using your network username and password. 

  • 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 supplied laptops are automatically connected.

SFCCguest

SFCCguest is an un-encrypted wireless option for campus visitors.

  • After selecting SFCCguest as a wireless option on your personal device, you will be asked for a personal email address. Follow the prompts during login as displayed on your device to enroll your device and access the guest wireless.
  • Each time you reconnect to the network, you will need to re-authenticate.
  • We ask that students and employees utilize the SFCCsecure wireless option and not the SFCCguest wireless.  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).
