The Office of Information Services maintains the enterprise level networks for New College of Florida. To ensure your security, the College’s network utilizes a secure authentication mechanism known as WPA2-Enterprise and 802.1X. This security protocol protects your NetID and password. In a wireless environment, it also protects your data with network encryption. To utilize this secure network, your network connection requires specific settings. We can help you get connected to both wired and wireless services, as well as show you how to connect your mobile devices to the NCF network.
