Wireless is available to currently enrolled SMC students and current SMC employees

The SMC_WIFI wireless network provides internet access to current students and employees who properly set up their personal wi-fi enabled device, such as a portable computer or mobile phone.

Wireless access points are in all SMC buildings and most large outside areas.

Only web access is allowed (http and https). The wireless network does not allow any non-web services such as telnet, FTP, SMTP, POP, IMAP, etc.
