Wireless

Welcome to Wireless Access at 黑料社

Wireless access gives 黑料社 students, faculty and staff the freedom to use their laptop computers on the network, without being restricted by location. This technology expands the current educational uses of our wired network.聽 It allows students and faculty to collaborate beyond traditional classroom settings and pursue new academic directions. Faculty and staff can have their laptops configured by information service by calling (515)961-1411.聽 Students who own their own laptop can follow the instructions below.


Before connecting to the campus network:

  • Make sure your computer has the latest operating system updates.
  • Your computer聽MUST聽have an anti-virus program. If you do not have an anti-virus program, we will provide information on how to install Sophos anti-virus for you at no additional cost.

To complete connecting to the campus network:

  • Connect to the student wireless network using the same username (without the @my.simpson.edu) and password that you use to access your student email.
  • Use an Ethernet cable to have a faster and more reliable physical connection to the network. This will provide a better connection when you need to take a test or complete other high stakes activity
  • If you need assistance, Information Technology Services鈥 help is available by phone at 515-961-1411, by email at helpdesk@simpson.edu or in person in the lower level of the McNeill Hall.
