What have you tried already, and how can you tell it isn't working? (can't access web pages, error messages, ...)

I had the same problem when trying to connect to my school network, the signal was being recieved, but i could not get on the net. i had to talk to the network admin so they could give me an ip address and give me all the school network deatails, like proxy settings and router settings etc. try contacting your network admin at college
