Connecting to MCC Student or Employee Wi-Fi

  • In your device's network list, select either the MCC-Student or MCC-Employee network.
  • Log in with your MCC username & current password (it is recommended to add @students.mchenry.edu or @mchenry.edu)
  • Once connected, your device will automatically re-connect when entering campus, until your password expires. 

Remember to update your Wi-Fi password on all of your devices after you reset your MCC password, or your account will lock. Forget the network on your device, then re-select it and update your password.

Occasionally the wi-fi network will request to trust a new certificate. Tap "Trust" in upper right corner.
