Help with WiFi for Students

Xfinity has lifted its hotspot restrictions and has opened them to the public. If you have one near you, it can access free internet. Xfinity Hotspot Finder

Following a request by the Federal Communications Commission, several internet service providers are temporarily expanding access to broadband services – either free or deeply discounted – particularly to low-income households and those with K-12 and college students. Students may have to navigate to find what’s available in their areas and what works best for them. To date, here is a summary of current offerings:

• AT&T: Offer internet access for qualifying limited-income households at $10 a month through our Access from AT&T program. Additionally, all public Wi-Fi hotspots are open nationwide. Click here to apply.

• Charter: Free broadband and WiFi for 60 days for students do who not already have an account. To enroll call 1-844-488-8395.

• Comcast: Comcast is offering an Internet Essentials service to those households eligible for public-assistance programs such as the National School Lunch Program, Housing Assistance, Medicaid, SNAP, or SSI. Applicants can visit internetessentials.com to enroll in the program; they may also call (855) 846-8376 for English or 855-765-6995 for Spanish.

We have set up a web page with more specific information, including college contacts if students or employees become ill.
