What is eduroam?
Eduroam is a collaborative network that provides current students, faculty, and staff with fast, secure, and reliable access to wireless services (Wi-Fi) on UFV campuses, as well as at participating institutions in 70 territories worldwide.
Use the same login credentials on every eduroam network, regardless of where you are.
INITIAL SETUP ON AN UFV CAMPUS REQUIRED: you must configure your device (e.g. laptop, tablet, smartphone) on an UFV campus before you can connect at other institutions.
