various locations around campus that enables anyone to connect to the
Hampden-Sydney network with a compatible wireless device. If you
purchased a Dell laptop through Hampden-Sydney's Dell page, then

All public wireless access points made available by Hampden-Sydney are set to the SSID of
HAMS-WLAN-BLUESOCKET, in
administrative and academic facilities, or
STU-WLAN, in student housing
areas. These SSID's are open and no encryption code or password is required. After connecting to the
wireless network, open a web browser and you will be directed to the Hampden-Sydney
Wireless Network login screen. On the left side of the screen you will need to
enter your HSC username and password (This is the same username
and password that is used for campus e-mail). After successfully logging in, the
web browser should then direct you to the requested web page. Guests can also
connect to the campus wireless network by providing a valid e-mail address at
the Guests login.
