Metropolitan Community College provides limited access to the Internet for students, faculty and staff via wireless networks. However, wireless access is not 100% reliable and access is not guaranteed. When wireless access is unavailable, review the information in the Troubleshooting Wireless Connections document or use one of our hard-wired College-owned computers in the Libraries and Academic Resource Centers.

Use of these wireless networks is governed by the Procedures Memorandum "Acceptable Use of Information Technology and Resources"

At the Fort Omaha Campus, Elkhorn Valley Campus, Sarpy Center and South Omaha Campus there are two wireless networks available:

MCC_Guest allows access to the Internet from personal computing devices. This connection is isolated from other networks on campus and is protected with a firewall. This network does not utilize encryption between the wireless access point and the end user.

MCC_Authenticated allows only employees access to the College’s network from College-owned equipment. It is also isolated but, unlike MCC_Guest, uses encryption and MAC authentication before it can be accessed. Employees who wish access to the MCC_Authenticated wireless network, must submit the Wireless Access Request form found at the MCC FormsBank.
