Wired and Wireless Networks

Guests of the College are allowed limited access to the Internet through a web based registration process. Wireless access is available throughout campus, and wired and wireless access is available in the Residence Halls.

Registration Process

To begin registration, launch a web browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari). Your web browser will redirect you to a series of registration pages. Follow the prompts.

For more information about our registration process please see Computer registration or Who is GReg and why do I need to know him?.

Troubleshooting Guest Access

Thousands of guests have registered their computers and have used our guest network. Occasionally users need additional help with registration. The Technology Helpline is available to help troubleshoot. Please call the Technology Helpline at x6111 or stop by the First Floor of Olin Hall.
