MASON-SECURE Retiring in December 2021 

At the end of the fall 2021 semester, eduroam, a worldwide wireless service developed for the international research and education community, will replace MASON-SECURE as the primary Mason Wi-Fi Network. To learn more about these improvements, see the ITS Spotlight. In anticipation of MASON-SECURE’s removal, Information Technology Services (ITS) encourages all campus Wi-Fi users to connect to eduroam. To get started, select eduroam from the available Wi-Fi networks and log in with your Mason email address (NetID@gmu.edu) and Patriot Pass Password. For more information, visit its.gmu.edu/eduroam. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact the ITS Support Center at 703-993-8870 or support@gmu.edu
