New wired and wifi networks will go into effect on August 5, 2015. Here’s what you need to know to stay connected!

As communicated earlier this summer, we are enhancing campus internet connections this month.

• A security enhancement has been performed for wired devices (e.g., your desktop computer).
  • You might be prompted to enter your Roanoke College username/password upon entering a web browser if your device cannot be identified on the wired network.
  • This is a one-time authentication and will not be required again.
