Connecting to the MMC Wireless Network

Wireless Networks on the Nugent 4th Floor and Nugent Lounge.

A Wireless Network is available throughout Marymount using Cisco Clean Access Agent and our standard Network Authentication.

Cisco Clean Access protects the Marymount Manhattan College Network, as well as all connected computers. Every Windows computer connected to the College Network is required to meet specific security checks to ensure that it remains protected and secure. Users with other types of computers (i.e. Macintosh OS or Linux) would only need to log in, or authenticate, to the network. Clean Access helps you keep your computer safe!

Anyone trying to connect to the Wireless network will need the following before they can connect:
Know your MMC Username and Password
Note: Your Username and Password are the ones you use to access computing lab and other computers across campus.
If you have a Windows computer, make sure to do critical/express Windows Updates: (windowsupdate.microsoft.com). You will be prompted to do these when you authenticate if you have not yet done them.
You are required to have either Norton, McCafee, TrendMicro, AVG or F-Secure antivirus software. Otherwise you will only be granted restricted access.
Install Cisco Clean Access (see above) to certify your computer is up-to-date.
