Wifi Issues

My wifi on my Mac just randomly stopped working. Its still working on my phone and iPad, but on my Mac it’s saying it has a self-assigned IP address and cant connect. It is my college wifi, so I cant restart the router, but I’ve tried basically everything google says to. I’ve restarted my mac, reset network preferences on my Mac, renewed DHCP lease on macOS, created a new network location, reset the firewall on my Mac, Set Service Order from network settings, and changed DNS servers on macOS and nothing has worked.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

self-assigned IP address happens when nobody will talk to you and give you a better IP address.

Problems are usually pretty obvious, like no signal where you are.
