Connect to Wi-Fi (eduroam)

eduroam (Education Roaming) is a secure, worldwide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community. Having started in Europe, eduroam has gained momentum throughout the research and education community and is now available in 70 territories. eduroam allows students, researchers and staff from participating institutions to obtain Internet connectivity across campus and when visiting other participating institutions by simply opening their laptops. Further, the City of Edmonton has also deployed eduroam services at many of their facilities offering you the ability to be online in many places across the city (or world) using the same wireless network and your U of A CCID (Campus Computing ID) credentials.
