The “Berkeley Guest” network is for Non-Berkeley College Students and Associates. It is a requirement that the visitor is with a Berkeley College student or associate in order to approve the guest access. Access is only valid for 24 hours.

 

*Current students, faculty, and staff will continue to use the campus wireless called Berkeley Wi-Fi.

Prospective students and visiting professionals can get temporary internet access while visiting any Berkeley College location. This is designed to allow people visiting Berkeley College staff to receive internet access for 24 hours.

Berkeley College staff will be required to approve any visitor prior to the guest receiving internet access.
