NOTE: Set-up-wifi is available across campus with the exception of the library, lecture theatres, West Park Teaching Hub and the James France Building. 

Step 3: Open Chrome and visit the Cloudpath site

When you have mobile data or are connected to a network, follow the steps below.  

  • Open Chrome on the same device (other browsers will not allow the Cloudpath app to run) 
  • Start typing or click the “Cloudpath site” button below
  • Enter your ÑÇÖÞÇéÉ« email address
