Bring Your Own Device

CCCGUEST is a secured network connection that is available to employees utilizing Calhoun provided mobile devices. This network allows you to utilize services such as AirServer for device mirroring to teacher stations and other in-class services and integrations. This network is also available for instructors to use one personal iOS device in the classroom.

If you are provided with a Calhoun iPad, it will be preconfigured with the ability to connect to the CCCGUEST network and should connect whenever the network is available.

As an instructor with no provided device from the college, you may use 1 personal iOS device in the classroom. Once authenticated, the device will connect to the CCCGUEST whenever the network is available. At that time, you will have access to use AirServer and other in-class services and integrations.
