PSC Wi-Fi Network Overview
PSC Wi-Fi Overview Connect to PSC with Android Apple iOS ChromeOS Linux Windows Connect to PSCvisitors PSC Wi-Fi network provides unlimited access to College resources and the Internet for students, faculty, and staff. Users are now able to register each of their devices through a one-time, third-party onboarding process that provides certificate-based security for all communications. Once a user's device is registered it will automatically connect to the PSC Wi-Fi network when in range and the user will not be prompted for credentials. We highly recommend that our students, faculty, and staff use this network instead of PSCvisitors. IMPORTANT! In order to configure a device for PSC network access it must have Internet access. Devices can be set up while off campus using your home Wi-Fi network or cellular data connection, or you can temporarily use PSCvisitors if you are on campus.
