How to Connect a ChromeOS Device to SVA’s Secure Wireless Network

You'll need an internet connection to install the certificate (this can be done on or off campus). If you're on campus for the first time and haven't yet onboarded your device, use your phone's hotspot to obtain internet access. Alternatively, get guest Wi-Fi credentials by going to guestwifi.sva.edu and sign onto the SVA Guest WiFi network for access. (use your phone or another device to request them). Once you have access, proceed to properly onboard your device to join SVA Secure WiFi. Make sure that all pop-up blockers are disabled.
Once you're online:
Go to wifi.sva.edu and follow the instructions to complete the certificate installation process.
