Connecting to the Becker Network

A network authentication and validation security system is in place to prevent “infected” computer systems such as laptops or desktops from gaining access to the network and infecting other systems. This will help to ensure a safe, secure and reliable network for all of us.  For Students and Guests, logging into Clean Access is required each time you plug into Becker's wireless or wired network.  For Faculty and Staff using Becker College systems, logging into Clean Access is transparent and happens when you logon to the Domain.

1. Logon to the Network

Enter your username and password at the Network Authentication Page to logon to the network. If you do not know your username or need additional instructions, go to the Student Clean Access Instructions Page.

2. Download the Clean Access Agent (only for the first time)

Once your username and password have been verified, you will be prompted to download and install the Clean Access Agent.

After the installation is completed, a Clean Access Agent icon will appear in your system tray. If the Clean Access Agent fails to install, please see the Troubleshooting section under General Networking FAQs. 

For further assistance if you are in a dorm room please contact the RA.  For further assistance if you are a commuter student contact the Helpdesk at (508) 373-1975.

3. Validating and Updating

Each time you log into the Becker College network, the Clean Access Agent will automatically validate your system configurations to ensure that you have current operating system patches, anti-virus and other security updates.

If the validation is successful, you will be logged onto the network.

If the validation is not successful, you will be directed to a remediation site such as Windows Updates or Antivirus. You need to update your system or security files at that time. Depending on the security updates, you may need to reboot your computer several times.
