Description

eduroam (EDUcation ROAMing) is a worldwide network that allows students, staff, and faculty access to wireless internet while visiting other participating member institutions. Users simply use credentials from their home institution and they are granted access.

For example a student from U of M can come to BU and log into our eduroam wireless using their U of M email address and password. Similarly a BU faculty member can go to U of Victoria and log into their eduroam network and use their BU email address and password. You cannot connect to eduroam while at your own institution.
