How to Connect Devices to Wired and Wi-Fi Networks

ATTENTION: Please do not use VPNs, proxies, or anonymizer services when accessing Union resources such as email and Canvas. These services are commonly associated with cyberattack activity and may trigger security alerts. As a result, your account could be flagged for suspicious behavior, requiring a password reset or temporary account lockout.

Union College Wi-Fi (wifi) is available across campus.  There are several Wi-Fi networks available (how many are visible will depend on where you are on campus.) Each network has a specific purpose and method used for connecting to it.

If you are a student that needs to connect a laptop/desktop, use the “Union-College” Wi-Fi network. When prompted, enter your Union College user.name and password. Do not use your full email address. If you are asked for a ‘domain,’ enter ‘unionky.edu’.

Chromebook/ChromeOS devices need to have ‘EAP Method’ set to ‘PEAP.'

If you have a Streaming/Gaming device, it MUST FIRST BE REGISTERED and connected to UnionIOT. A password specific to the device being registered is provided during the registration process.  

Instructions for registering your devices are here.

“Union-Guest” Wi-Fi is for users without a Union College account.  It allows a few hours of access to the Internet for visitors to campus.

Instructions for connecting to Union-Guest are here.
