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