Quick Tip: If you are having problems accessing OTC resources on your personal laptop (e.g. MyOTC, library resources, etc.) while at OTC, you are likely on the wrong wifi network. Never use guest wifi! It is not a secure network. Instead, always use otc-wifi. Simply type in your OTC username and password to get signed onto the network. Stop by the ALC with any questions. We will help you troubleshoot!
