Can an Uno r3 using a Wifi Shield Connect to a Hidden SSID?

If a network is not broadcasting it's SSID (but I know what it is) can the Uno r3 with wifi shield connect to it? I am just trying the basic example code found on the getting started page and it is not working using

Wifi.begin("MySSID");

There is no encryption on this network. I cannot turn SSID broadcasting on because I am on my school network.

Thanks!

yes, "standard" code should work for broadcasting and non broadcasting networks

Can you connect your device now? I have the same problem.

Last time I checked, it won't connect unless the AP broadcasts its ssid.
