Switch to Duo Mobile App
If you're still having your Duo authentication calls sent to a campus desk phone or mobile phone, we encourage you to switch to the easier option of the Duo mobile app. Most of us always have our mobile devices on us, which makes it possible to authenticate anywhere we are - a huge plus with our often hybrid work schedules.
How to Switch to Duo Mobile App
Need to Add a New Device?

Duo Flooding Scam
A new phishing scheme involves a scammer sending you a Duo push notification you didn't originate, which may mean your Sac State account has been compromised. Don't accept any unusual Duo pushes - and follow these tips to protect yourself from Duo flooding scams.
Report Phishing
Cyberattacks hit inboxes frequently - brush up on what to look for at our online phishing resources, and be sure to report anything suspicious using the PhishMe Reporter button in your Outlook menu.
Internet Connection Options
Your devices should automatically recognize and connect to eduroam, our official campus internet. If you have new devices - or just new to being on campus - our campus wireless section covers device-specific connection instructions.
In addition to on-campus options, there are off-campus alternatives available.
Campus Wireless & Remote Internet Options
Wi-Fi 6 & Expanded Campus Coverage
Thanks to a comprehensive Campus Network Infrastructure Upgrade Project last spring, the majority of campus buildings and hotspots are upgraded to Wi-Fi 6!
Pro tip: Depending on the age of your personal device(s) you bring to campus, you may need some driver updates to ensure your devices (laptops and mobile phones) can tap in.
