You don’t have to be on campus to use eduroam’s configuration assistant tool to install and enable the service before arriving at Macalester or traveling to other campuses from around the world. Visitors who do not have a Macalester account or are not from eduroam-participating institutions may use Macalester Guest to connect to wireless.
We strongly recommend students bring their own laptop to campus and follow our base-line laptop recommendations. Apple and Dell offer discounts for education purchases. Macalester’s Emergency Aid Program can provide assistance to students as well.
You can reset it yourself with our self-service password reset tool. Just go to 1600grand.macalester.edu and click Forgot Password.
All students, faculty and staff are required to use 2-factor authentication for 1600grand and Google accounts. It’s easier than you think for someone to steal your password, 2-factor authentication can help keep cybercriminals out, even if they have your password. Securely log into an account with 2 things: 1) something you know (your password) and 2) something you have (your phone).
