Notes about connecting to the UCCS-Wireless wireless network
To connect to the UCCS-Wireless wireless network you must meet either one of the two conditions below...
  • You have UCCS Credentials (username including @uccs.edu and password)
    ... or ...
  • You have obtained a guest username and password (through self-registration or by contacting the OIT Help Desk)

If you are visiting from an eduroam participating institution, you can connect to the eduroam wireless network.

If none of the above apply to you, please visit the UCCS-Guest information page.

Verifying certificates
