Cloudpath says there was an error connecting
First, please verify you are using the correct credentials on our NetID self-service page.
Second, verify your date and/or time settings are correct. Without WiFi, some computers cannot accurately set the date and time causing a certificate to seem invalid. This can sometimes be an issue with international devices that are set to a different time zone, so we advise when attempting to connect to have that updated for the Eastern Time Zone prior to connecting.
Need Help?
If the device will not complete the authentication step, please verify you are using the correct credentials on our NetID self-service page.
