CU Secure Wi-Fi - Register Your iPhone or iPad

 This new Wi-Fi network is now live in select early-access buildings and cannot be accessed from any other location.

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.
