You should contact your school's help desk.

I agree.  That's what they mean by "contact administrator".  There's a good chance they will want your Roku's MAC number to enable your connection, so you might want to get this ahead of time via Settings > Network > About.

@lelizondo 

Just wanting to be sure you are using Hotel & Dorm Connect: https://support.roku.com/article/215058118

If you are already trying that and it's not working as expected, getting "contact admin" messages, do what @renojim and @makaiguy said, get in touch with your school IT department.

I’m having troubles connecting to my dorm wifi

I am trying to connect my Roku tv to my dorm wifi and I always get to connecting to the DIRECT-Roku-****** but then when it asks me to enter a password for that on my phone I’m not sure what password it’s asking for. Is it asking for my Roku account password or the wifi I am trying to use password?
