Guests of the College of Charleston can make use of the complimentary Internet access provided through the “CofC-Guest” wireless network. It has limited bandwidth of 5Mbps and will disconnect the user after 12 hours. You are welcome to rejoin the network after this timeout.

Learn how to connect your device to CofC-Guest.

Campus community members should NOT use this network. This network does NOT grant access to internal network resources and is NOT encrypted. Be aware that third parties can wirelessly intercept any data transmitted on this network. It is not recommended that sensitive data be transmitted, but if you do, ensure that any sensitive data is encrypted before transmission. For example, ensure that website addresses begin with “https://” instead of “http://”. Remember that the “s” is for “secure”. The College of Charleston cannot guarantee the security of your data on this network and does monitor all data connections.
