Support

If you can't connect to the wireless network, refer to these vendor articles if you are using a MacOS or a Windows device. If these instructions still do not meet your need, please contact IT Services. Additionally, although our wireless networks are quite robust, wireless availability can occasionally be intermittent in some locations on campus. Please report these types of issues by completing the Provide Wireless Network Feedback form.

Alert: When you try to connect your device to Wi-Fi, you may notice other available Wi-Fi networks. The only supported network for user systems (laptops, tablets, or phones) is Eduroam. Other supported networks are uchicago-guest and uchicago-iot. Be aware that any other networks are unsupported and it is not advised for use. If you see many of these unsupported networks, it would be best to report this to IT Services, as they are likely interfering with University-provided wireless networks.
