On or after Wednesday, Feb. 24, you’ll be prompted to log into the FloridaPoly wireless network and verify a new security certificate. Double-check that you are connecting to FloridaPoly—then proceed with confidence.
Once connected, your wireless experience will be unchanged. You’ll log in and accept the certificate once—but only once—for each wireless device you have.

We’re upgrading the certificate used to secure wireless connections. Your device verifies this certificate each time it connects. If the certificate changes—as it will on Feb. 24—you’ll need to accept the change. This happens so you can be sure you’re connecting to the secure wireless network—not a fake network with the same name.
Certificates are designed to expire periodically. If an adversary stole a non-expiring certificate they could impersonate us to steal our data or damage our reputation. We can also revoke certificates voluntarily if necessary. Either expiration or revocation would trigger the same prompt on your device.
