If you receive an error when you enter your personal PSK follow this guide to assist you

  1. Ensure you have selected the “SLU-DEVICES” network.
  2. Enter the PSK you received when you registered your device.
  3. Login to https://clearpass.stlawu.edu on a computer or smart device.
  • Choose Manage My Devices.
  • Select the device you registered and verify that you selected the proper account role, “Game Console” for any Game Consoles or “Other” for streaming devices.
  • If you selected the wrong account role, you will need to click Remove, select Delete Account, click Make Changes and then go through the registration process again.

If you receive an error that your device has already been registered, but it is not visible under Manage Devices, sign in with your St Lawrence University username instead of your email, or vice versa. If the device is not visible under either logins, submit a service request for further assistance.

Please note that certain devices are not compatible with the SLU-Devices network. While smart speakers like Amazon Echo, Google Home, or Apple Homepod will work on campus and allow for audio streaming, other home appliance devices that connect to the Wi-Fi, such as smart lightbulbs or smart outlets, will not.
