USC Wireless Plus Overview

There are two wireless networks to choose from at USC: USC Wireless and USC Wireless Plus.

USC Wireless

USC Wireless is an open wireless network. Users can connect without entering a USC username and password. Because USC wireless is an open network, ITS recommends using USC’s Virtual Private Network (VPN) software to protect personal information when using this network. For more information, see www.usc.edu/its/vpn.

USC Wireless Plus

USC Wireless Plus is a faster, encrypted network, available only to USC account holders. Before connecting to USC Wireless Plus for the first time, you will need to register your device. You may also need to configure your computer.

Connecting to USC Wireless Plus

Instructions will vary by operating system and version. For instructions, please locate your operating system in the menu on the right-hand side of this page.

Getting Help

If you have any questions on the new wireless options at USC and how to use them, please call the ITS Customer Support Center at 213-740-5555 or send an email to consult@usc.edu.
