Policy and Procedures
Log In on Your Campus
NSCC has created a college-wide wireless network. This wireless access network functions on all Nashville State campuses.
- For Faculty, Staff and Students - use NSCC WiFi.
NSCC WiFi is a secured network with required authentication by students and faculty. - For Non-Students - use NSCC-GUEST
NSCC-GUEST allows more limited access for NSCC guests and public access.
Security
The security policies on the wireless network will accept 802.11G and 802.11N compatible devices using WPA2/WPA3 enterprise radius identification.
NSCC cannot guarantee connectivity with all devices, Operating Systems, and wireless 802.11 systems.
If you connect to other services, SSIDs or access points that do not begin with "NSCC" your data may not be secure and NSCC cannot provide Service Desk assistance.
NSCC makes no guarantees, real or implied, concerning service, security of data, data rates, bandwidth, or quality of services. Wireless 802.11 is by design and specification a public channel. NSCC will verify if wireless services are operational under normal conditions. If an ISP provider problem is detected, the carrier will be notified as soon as practical, but no time frame for restoration of service can be made.

If an ISP provider problem is detected, the carrier will be notified as soon as practical, but no time frame for restoration of service can be made.
Failure to connect through the network, once the operation of the local routers is verified, is the full responsibility of the owner of the device(s) attempting to connect using the then current Security Access systems.
NSCC personnel will not make any attempt to fix a problem on a non-NSCC device. Devices containing offending software, spyware, etc., or creating network problems, may be blocked by NSCC management at any time without prior warning.
Acceptable Use
Each student, faculty, or staff member signs an “Acceptable Use Policy” for NSCC equipment and usage. Any and all use of the NSCC wireless access system is covered under the NSCC Acceptable Use Policy found just above this Wireless Policy.
This policy applies to the use of the wireless services on campus. Visitors or Guests should sign a copy of this policy before using NSCC services, but the policy guidelines remain in force for their use of NSCC services even if no use policy has been signed.
