San Diego City College Wireless Network Guidelines

Use Policy
  • Access to the San Diego City College wireless network is limited to current students, faculty and staff using their personal laptops.
  • Please do not share the system access code with anyone.
  • By using this access code, you agree that you will use the City College wireless system only for legal purposes, will abide by City College policies, and will observe applicable copyright laws. Violation may result in revocation of wireless privileges and/or disciplinary action.
  • Please use headphones to play computer audio, so as not to disturb others.
  • Use of the wireless network is at your own risk. City College is not responsible for harm to your equipment or person as a result of using the wireless network.
Security
  • Our system uses WPA/PSK authentication.
  • You should have a virus scan program on your laptop. For example, http://free.avg.com/ is free.
  • Access code is case-sensitive and may include special characters, like punctuation.
  • Access code may change without notice.
Problems
  • Troubleshooting is limited to reporting of City College wireless network outages only. To report a network outage, please call 619-388-3288 or email citylib@sdccd.edu.
  • City College employees cannot provide help with laptop set-ups, not that we don’t want to, but we can't take responsibility for "experimenting" with your equipment. Please consult your laptop’s user manual for further clarification.

Connection Problems: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Password not working OR key mismatch error:
  • First check that you've put in the password correctly and check for case-sensitivity. If you can, enable the setting to show the password as you type it in. (Usually this is a check box under the password entry box.)
  • Second, check to see if you've selected WPA encryption.
  • If the password still does not work, this may indicate a cached or saved setting that is not getting overwriten with the new password. Try deleting the old connection to the City Wireless network and start fresh as a New Connection. Your computer should detect the network and then you should be able to input the password and have it connect.

Browser does not connect to a web page: Wifi routers cycle through channels frequently and your connection may time out or miss a channel change. This is a known conflict with Vista, Win7 and new Mac operating systems. If your browser does not load a page, disconnect from the wireless service, wait at least 30 seconds and then reconnect (using the same access code).
