Step 5 - Click Connect and you should now be successfully connected 

NOTE: If connection fails with these settings, some chromebooks require the "Identity" field be filled out with "PointPark.edu\(Point Park Username excluding @pointpark.edu) " 

NOTE: If settings continue to fail after the above change, change the field for "EAP Phase 2 Authentication" to mschapv2. 

NOTE: This article will also work for connecting to 802.1x where it is still present. The only changes will be connecting to 802.1x instead of PioneerNet then following the remainder of these instructions.
