Wi-Fi - Connect to "Parkland" on a Mac (for students)

Description of how students can access the Parkland Wi-Fi on campus from a personal device that is running macOS.
  • ParklandOne credentials are retained for two weeks, preventing the need to authenticate on a daily basis so long as the device is active on Parkland’s Wi-Fi network within that two week timeframe. The 14 day counter is reset every time the system connects.
  • Students must have an active Parkland email account in order to sign on to the Parkland Wi-Fi with their ParklandOne credentials. If not, please create a guest account: Parkland Wi-Fi - Create a Guest Account
  • Traffic on the Parkland SSID is not encrypted (unless you are accessing a secure site via HTTPS).
  • Users will be given limited access to Parkland network resources.
