How to connect to the CCSF Wireless Network:

Even if you have previously signed up for CCSF WiFi, you will need to register once again in order to access the new, upgraded system.

Please note that the District’s old wireless system (called “CCSF WiFi”) will continue to be available only until June 30, 2012, so the Technology Division encourages all students, staff and faculty to register for the new wireless system as soon as possible. Although new users will not be accepted for the old system, anyone with access to it already will continue to have access until the above discontinuation date.
