How to Connect to DSCC Student Wi-Fi

PDF version of instructions

Before you begin: Each student receives a unique Wi-Fi passphrase linked to the student’s DSCC account. The same passphrase may be used on all of your personal devices. Save the passphrase securely and do not share it with others.

Follow the steps below to obtain your personal passphrase and connect to the dscc-student wireless network.

Step 1: Open the registration portal

Scan the QR code below with your device’s camera. You may also use the direct registration link shown beneath the QR code.

This is a QR code for connecting to dscc-student Wi-Fi.

Direct link: Open the DSCC Student Wi-Fi registration portal

 

Step 2: Choose the DSCC student sign-in option

On the registration page, select Sign in with DSCC Student MPSK.

Step 3: Sign in with your DSCC student account

Enter your DSCC student email address, such as example@my.dscc.edu, and select Next. Complete the sign-in process if prompted.

Step 4: Copy and save your personal Wi-Fi passphrase

The portal will display your unique Pre-Shared Key (PSK). Copy or securely save this passphrase. You will use the same passphrase to connect each of your personal devices to dscc-student. Do not share it with other students.

Step 5: Open your device’s Wi-Fi settings

Open the wireless or Wi-Fi settings on your device and select dscc-student from the list of available networks.

Step 6: Enter your passphrase

When prompted for the network password or security key, enter the personal passphrase you saved in Step 4.

Step 7: Confirm the connection

After your device connects successfully, you may begin using the DSCC student wireless network.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is DSCC changing the student Wi-Fi connection process?

The new process gives each student a unique Wi-Fi passphrase linked to the student’s DSCC account instead of relying on a single shared wireless password.

Can I use the same passphrase on more than one device?

Yes. Use the personal passphrase generated for you to connect each of your personal devices to dscc-student.

What should I do if the QR code will not scan?

Use the clickable registration link in Step 1 instead. If the link is opened on the device you want to register, complete the sign-in process on that device.

Which account should I use to sign in?

Use your DSCC student email address ending in @my.dscc.edu. If a different Microsoft account appears, sign out of that account or use a private browsing window, then try again with your DSCC student account.

What if my device continues trying to use the old Wi-Fi password?

Open the device’s Wi-Fi settings, forget or remove the saved dscc-student network, and then reconnect using your personal passphrase.

What if I lose or forget my personal passphrase?

Return to the registration portal in Step 1 and sign in with your DSCC student account to view the passphrase associated with your account. If you still cannot retrieve it, contact the DSCC Help Desk.

Should I share my passphrase with another student?

No. Your passphrase is associated with your DSCC account and should be kept private. Each student should register for a separate personal passphrase.

Who can help if I still cannot connect?

Contact the DSCC Help Desk by phone at 731-286-3280, or by email at helpdesk@dscc.edu. Include the type of device and the step where the problem occurred, but do not email your personal Wi-Fi passphrase.
