Overview
Some buildings on the Auraria Campus have not yet moved to the AurariaNet Wi-Fi network. For these buildings, MSU Denver students, faculty, and staff should connect to the MSU Denver network for a faster, more secure experience.
Before you begin...
- If you don't see the MSUDenver network, you may be in a building that has transitioned to AurariaNet. In that case, please see How do I connect to the AurariaNet wireless network on macOS devices?
- These instructions may be different depending on your device's version of macOS. Not all menu options will be the same, but most will be similar.
- You must have an active account with MSU Denver and your password must not be expired.
