Instructions for On-Campus Wireless Network Access

Wireless Availability

The College wireless network is available to all staff, faculty, students and authorized visitors with laptops or mobile devices capable of wireless connectivity. When connected to the College wireless network, you can access internet and email. Shared network resources are not accessible.

System Requirements

Any device with Wi-Fi capability, including any mobile device.

How to Connect to the Network

The Wi-Fi within the College is a non-broadcasting network, which means your device won’t automatically detect it (this limits non-college access). You will need to manually add the College network in order to connect to it.

  • Open your device’s Network and/or Wi-Fi connection settings location
  • Manually “Add” a network using the SSID of CCP WLAN with Open Security
  • If asked, check Obtain an IP address automatically.

If you need help connecting to the College Wi-Fi, call the ITS Support Desk.
