Vacaville Unified School District provides multiple networks for district devices to access the internet. While it may seem overwhelming at first, each network is designed for a specific purpose. Not sure which one to connect to? This page will guide you through the basics and help you choose the right network for your needs.
VacavilleUSD: District Staff Wi-Fi for all devices
Username & Password: Your own VUSD District Username and Password
Example: If your VUSD credentials are “JohnD@vacavilleusd.org” your username is: JohnD and your password is whatever you use to access District computers, Email, Aeries, etc.
Connecting your laptop to wi-fi? Enter your credentials like this: vusd\johnd
What you should know: If you ever change your School District Password, you will need to update your password for the VacavilleUSD Wi-Fi. If you do not, it will continue to try and authenticate it with your old password. When it does that enough times, it will lock your District Account for too many connection attempts with the incorrect password.
If you find your account is getting locked out, Request a Technology Specialist to fix this.

CW2018: Wi-Fi specifically for Student Google Chroomebooks
Turn on your classroom Chromebook and it will connect to the CW2018 Wi-Fi automatically. If it does not, Request a Technology Specialist for assistance.
VUSD-Cow: Alternative Wi-Fi network specifically designed to be a secondary connection option for District provided Windows Laptops.
For connection access (if not already set up for you) Request a Technology Specialist to visit and get you connected.
VUSD-Guest: This network is for visiting guests only i.e. people who DO NOT work for the Vacaville Unified School District such as parents, relatives, friends, etc. The VUSD-Guest network is just that: a simple network for basic internet access.
This network DOES NOT have access to connect to any District assets i.e. school printers, school email, school accounts, student programs, etc. So if you are a VUSD employee or a VUSD student, this Wi-Fi network does NOT work for your District Accounts or District Devices. For connection access (if not already set up for you) Request a Technology Specialist to visit and get you connected.
