MSTC-GUEST

MSTC-GUEST is Mid-State’s wireless network for visitors to the College. Guests can connect without credentials to access the Internet while at a MId-State location (campus or center).

The process to connect is simple:

  1. In your device’s Wi-Fi settings, please select and connect to the MSTC-GUEST network.
  2. To complete the network connection, and fully utilize the Wi-Fi, you will need to accept the Acceptable Use Policy. At times you will need to re-accept this policy to continue having full network access.

Students and employees should connect to Eduroam whenever possible. If you run into issues connecting to Eduroam, you may use MSTC-GUEST as a backup. If you are having any multi-factor authentication issues, or for the best receival of MFA, please look to connect personal phones to the MSTC-GUEST network.

Eduroam

Eduroam (education roaming) is a global wireless network access for research and education. Because Mid-State is an Eduroam member, we can provide free Wi-Fi services to students, faculty, and staff members. This applies to use on Mid-State locations (campuses and centers) as well as at other Eduroam-enabled institutions around the world.

  • Mid-State devices will automatically connect to the Eduroam network when at a Mid-State location. 
  • Once your Mid-State user account is created, you can use your Mid-State network username and password to log in to  Eduroam from any Mid-State location when visiting another participating institution worldwide. (Eduroam is available at participating institutions throughout the U.S. and abroad.) 

You can find a list of participating schools on the Eduroam website. If you’re planning to travel to one of these schools, you can set up your laptop, tablet, or mobile device in advance from any Mid-State location.

NOTE: While your Mid-State credentials will allow you to access the Eduroam network at other participating institutions, each institution controls its own Eduroam infrastructure.

If you experience issues connecting a device or accessing services while on another institution’s Eduroam network, please contact the IT department of that institution for assistance.
