Networks:

  • Lake Superior College – a secure wireless environment for students, faculty, and staff.  It is strongly recommended that all students, faculty and staff use the Lake Superior College secure network.
  • Eduroam – A secure connection to the Eduroam network. Eduroam is the secure, world-wide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community.
  • LSC Guest – open, unencrypted, low bandwidth network for visitors and community wireless connection for those without a StarID.  This network should not be used for student, faculty, or staff internet activities.
  • Cellular Data – we recommend not relying solely on your wireless data/internet plan. The structural steel, cement, and other materials in the building limit the availability of your cellular service in areas of the campus.
