Reconnecting \ Forgetting Networks

On Windows devices, access your Wi-Fi networks in the system tray (bottom right corner)

From here, click on the Wi-Fi tile in the bottom left, it should go grey and Wi-Fi will be displayed as "Turned off"

Click on the same tile again and wait a moment, it should reconnect to St Mary's College and be "Connected, Secured"

__________________________

If reconnecting isn't enough, you may need to "Forget" the network altogether,

First, go to your Wi-Fi networks in the system try again (bottom right corner)

From there, choose Network and Internet Settings

Now, choose Wi-Fi, and then Manage known networks

Here you will see all saved networks on your device, select St Mary's College and choose Forget

You can now connect to St Mary's College again, but this time, it will ask for your Username and Password.

If you are still having trouble connecting to the Wi-Fi, or have connected, but don't have internet access, please see the IT Department for assistance.
