RCCD Board Policy 2720, Computer & Network Use [PDF]

RCCD has an enterprise wireless network to serve instructional and operational needs of our district. The technical foundation of the design allows for ongoing expansion of coverage and speeds, while being mindful of cybersecurity risks.

This page details the different wireless networks and their use.

Wireless Network: eduroam

"The eduroam wireless network is available at all participating academic institutions, across over 100 countries, including UCR (University of California, Riverside)

Students and employees receive free Internet connectivity via eduroam through your RCCD account. Simply log in with your RCCD full email address as username and password, then trust the certificate.

You should not use this wireless network with District/College-owned device while at RCCD locations. District/College-owned devices should auto-connect to rccd_managed which is required to access internal resources. Reserve the use of eduroam for District/College-owned devices when offsite or on personal devices."

Wireless Network: RCCD

The rccd wireless network allows students and employees to use their personal device(s). Each user account is granted up to five (5) device connections. When the sixth (6th) device is connected, the 1st device will be disconnected.

NOTE: This wireless network is a replacement for the legacy RCCD_Inet wireless network. Due to cybersecurity risks, this wireless network does not have access to internal RCCD resources.

Wireless Network: rccd_guest

The rccd_guest wireless network allows guests of RCCD to use their personal or company device(s) to access the Internet.

There are two (2) levels of guest access: Standard and Elevated. Guest users shall accept and follow "RCCD Guest Acceptable Use Policy".
