There are two networks available to students Sage-Open and Sage-Secure. Sage-Open is unencrypted and Sage-Secure has WEP encryption. We encourage you to use the Secure network anytime sensitive information is being used (passwords/credit cards).
Sage-Secure- More secure, but requires an extra step, a WEP key must used the first time.
Sage-Open Faster, but unencrypted.
