CU Secure Wi-Fi - Register Your Linux Device

This new Wi-Fi network is currently being tested in select campus buildings and cannot be accessed from any other location.

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

*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.
