I found this interesting announcement in the GPC Daily News & Information. No date announced for Dunwoody, but I'm sure students will appreciate having it.

New Secure Wireless Access for Students Starts March 27, 2015.
Students will soon have a choice between using a secure (encrypted) wireless connection and an unsecure connection. Beginning March 27, 2015, students at the Newton campus will have access to enhanced wireless services with other campuses shortly thereafter.
The secure wireless, JagTalk Secure, will require students to configure their personal computer and mobile devices to be able to access. The advantages to secure wireless include encrypted transmission of data, one-time authenticationgood for the lifecycle of a student’s GPC password (no more logging into wireless each time they step on campus or move to a different building) and access to GPC printing services from their personal computer or device.
The unsecure wireless, JagTalk Open, will not require students to configure their personal computer or mobile devices for access. Students who elect to use unsecure wireless will not be able to use GPC printing services from their personal computer or device. It will be up to the student to take appropriate measures to safeguard their data transmissions when using unsecure wireless. Also, use of unsecure wireless will require students to authenticate each time they come to campus.
Changes to Employee Wireless are also underway—more information will be made available for employees at a later date.
