CU Secure Wi-Fi - Register Your iPhone or iPad

Follow these instructions to register your personal or non-Secure Computing* iPhone or iPad on the CU Secure Wi-Fi network. Once installed, the certificate will allow the device to automatically connect to CU Secure when in range.

If you're using an older iOS version, see SecureW2's iOS help guides.

*Note: Devices enrolled in CU Boulder's Secure Computing framework are automatically configured to connect to CU Secure Wi-Fi and don't require manual registration.

Apple Device Instructions

If you were asked which device you wanted to install the CU Secure profile on (Step 11), then your paired device(s) should be capable of connecting to CU Secure as well.

Once you've registered your iPhone on CU Secure:

  1. On your iPhone, restart the registration process from Step 2.

Your iPhone will extend the CU Secure Wi-Fi configuration to that device, allowing both of them to connect to CU Secure automatically.

Repeat this process to connect additional paired devices.
