Faculty, if you require technology assistance during your class, we are one call away. Please use the Assistance Phone in your classroom to report a technology issue impacting your class. Dial "3" to be directly connected to OTS. We will send a technician to your classroom immediately.
Access LoneStar Wi-Fi
Students and employees have access to our secure "LoneStar" wi-fi network anytime while on campus. Log in with your LSC username and password. Please make sure any wireless device you bring on-site has the latest updates and patches to minimize cyber security issues.
NOTE: On some iOS devices, you may have to enter lscs\ before your username in order to connect.
Just visiting but need wi-fi access while you are here? Guests can access the open "LoneStar-Visitor" network at any time while on campus. However, if a secure connection is needed, guests will need to ask their LSC-employed sponsor for assistance or contact the OTS Service Desk to request a temporary visitor account. Temporary login information will be provided for a specified time-frame so you may use the wireless network while visiting our colleges.
Reset Your Password
All LSC accounts are password-protected. Use a unique password, preferably a sentence, and do not share it with anyone or enter it into a website without being sure it is associated with Lone Star College. When in doubt, contact the OTS Service Desk for verification.
Important Info for Faculty & Staff: When resetting your password on an LSC-owned computer while off-campus, do not use Ctrl+Alt+Del. Instead, use the link below or the "Reset Password" link on the myLoneStar log-in page. Otherwise, you will experience syncing issues and may end up locked out of your account upon returning to campus.

Be Cyber Aware
Watch out for phishing scam emails. Even if an email looks like it may be from your professor, a co-worker, supervisor, or even the OTS Service Desk. Be wary of any email containing links and/or attachments. We will NEVER ask for your password or email you a link to update your account.
