North Central utilizes a whitelist system for network access. All devices connected directly via an Ethernet port must be registered to gain access. Some wireless devices devices (conumer/smart/consoles) also require registration.
To register your device, click Register Device, or go to devices.northcentral.edu to register your device's Wired MAC Address on Clearpass.
IMPORTANT - Devices must be registered before they are connected to the network. Connecting a device to the network before registration will cause the device to not function properly and can only be resolved by IT staff.
