DCPS Wireless Internet Access Instructions
Joining the DCPS Wireless Network via Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Policy
Overview:
A BYOD policy, or bring-your-own-device policy, is a set of rules governing our District’s IT Department level of support. Personally owned devices such as smartphones, laptops, tablets that may include Windows, Android and IOS operating systems require a level of authentication before being able to gain access to resources on our network such as Internet Access.
In order to provide a secure and safe environment for our staff and students we have new procedures that have to be followed when bringing a personally owned device into the school division and connecting it to the DCPS Wireless Network. We encourage BYOD and have no issues at all giving you the access you need, we are just doing it a little differently now to provide a level of transparency of how we categorize, recognize and protect each endpoint and user. We will always be here to help assist in this installation if you need help.
