In fall 2026, Ohio State is updating the security certificate used to verify our Wi-Fi network. For MITS-managed devices, no action is required—IT will complete the update automatically. Requirements for other Ohio State provided devices may vary by department. To ensure your personal devices continue connecting without interruption, you will need to re-enroll your device now so it is properly configured.
