“Free Wi-Fi is now available in the Library/Study Cubicles, Student Center/Food Court and is available during the times that the Library and Student Center are opened.” Information Technology director Lee Krichmar said.

Wi-Fi is going to be available to students at no cost, as long as the student is currently enrolled.

To access the free Wi-Fi the faculty/student can log in using their faculty information/student credentials (student I.D. number and password).

The steps to access the Internet are as follows;

1. Open  your wireless connection in your laptop, PC or MAC.

2. Click on “Connect To”, then click “Cerritos College Wireless”.

3. Enter your student information and password; Faculty members enter your faculty information and password.

4. It will re-direct you to the Cerritos College homepage and you can start browsing from there.
 

Lawrence Alfred Ervin III, Graphic Design major, said, “Offering students the wireless Internet through the Student Center is beneficial because students like myself, and that of any other major can access the resources available to us.”

According to Ms. Krichmar, the Information Technology department is hoping to expand the free Wi-Fi access to students in the future and they are currently searching for funds to support the expansion of this project.

When they do expand the wireless connection around the school Rigoberto Arenas, a Chemistry major, said he would like to see it being available in the classrooms and he goes on to say, “because if I don’t understand what the teacher is lecturing on I can find out what he is talking about.” 

“It is a very smart idea,” David Nguyen, English major added, “and students like myself can centralize and organize ideas by using the Internet at the student center.”

Ms. Krichmar also said, “We are very excited to provide this new service to our students!”
