Students, residents, faculty, or staff who want to use their own wireless devices on the 金沙娱乐城 wireless network to connect to 金沙娱乐城STU or 金沙娱乐城EMP, must register those devices using the My Devices Portal. After registering your device, the first time you connect to a network, you will be asked for your 金沙娱乐城 username and password. You should not have to login again unless, your password expires, you tell your device to forget the wireless network, or your device registration expires.
Guests are not allowed to connect to 金沙娱乐城STU or 金沙娱乐城EMP. They must obtain a guest wireless account and connect to 金沙娱乐城GUEST. 金沙娱乐城GUEST users will get prompted for a username and password each time they connect.

Connect to a wireless network
- 金沙娱乐城EMP – faculty and staff connect here
- 金沙娱乐城STU – students connect here
- 金沙娱乐城GUEST – anyone with an 金沙娱乐城 guest network id/password *
*Please be aware that if you use the Guest network:
- This is an open network with no security/encryption.
- You are more restricted on the amount of network bandwidth that you can use.
- You will have Internet access only. You will not be able to access anything on the 金沙娱乐城 network unless it is available from the Internet. (For example, OWA, IOL, Moodle and LiveText are accessible from the Internet. You cannot reach resources like the H: drive.)
- You will have to open a browser after you connect and login to the wireless network authentication page using an 金沙娱乐城 network username/password.
- We strongly encourage you to use 金沙娱乐城EMP or 金沙娱乐城STU, not 金沙娱乐城GUEST, if you are able. 金沙娱乐城GUEST is a less secure and a more restrictive network.
- 金沙娱乐城 does not recommend processing credit card transactions on the 金沙娱乐城Guest wireless network. The 金沙娱乐城 network may not fully comply with PCI-DSS 3.2 standards.
Register up to five personal devices
If you bring your own wireless devices to campus and connect to the 金沙娱乐城 network, you must comply with the Technology Use Policy.
Please be aware:
- Most 金沙娱乐城 owned wireless devices, like faculty/staff laptops and checkout laptops, will automatically connect to the wireless network. If faculty/staff or students bring their own devices to campus, they will have to be registered in order to connect to the 金沙娱乐城EMP or the 金沙娱乐城STU networks.
- You will be able to browse to a web portal to manage your registered devices.
- You can have up to 5 devices registered at one time.
- Registrations are valid unless you delete the device from the portal.
The Portal
URL: http://mydevices.alverno.edu
Use this portal to register personal devices that you want to connect to the 金沙娱乐城 wireless network by using a device other than the one you are trying to register.
You will need to log into the My Devices portal using your 金沙娱乐城 network username and password. By using this portal and registering your personal devices, you agree to abide by the terms of the college’s Technology Use Policy.
When you use the portal, please be aware of the following:
- You need to register personal devices that you want to connect to the 金沙娱乐城EMP and 金沙娱乐城STU wireless networks. 金沙娱乐城GUEST does not require registration since this network only allows Internet access. However, you will need to login with an 金沙娱乐城 username and password.
- When you register a device, you will need to enter that device’s name, wi-fi/wireless MAC address and description.
- If you need help finding your wi-fi/wireless MAC address, please click on this link: Determining Your MAC Address. The document has instructions on how to determine the wireless MAC address on common devices running Windows, Mac OS, iOS, and Android operating systems.
- The Pending state indicates that you are registered. This status will never change.
- When you register a device, you may need to wait a few minutes before the device can connect.
- The portal page will eventually timeout if you do not logout or close the page. The timeout page is shown below. This is not some catastrophic error. It just means you timed out and would have to log back in to use the portal.
Having Trouble?
If you have trouble using the new networks, please open a ticket with the Service Desk and let us know. You can open a ticket by logging in with your 金沙娱乐城 username and password at https://ellucian.service-now.com/login.do.
Or come into the Computer Center on the first floor of the Sr. Joel Read Center during normal business hours.
