EduRoam
Overview and Key Features:
Eduroam is a system that is employed by many universities to allow visitors to access their wireless networks using their ‘home’ credentials. For example, a University of Toronto community member can connect to the Ryerson University wireless network by entering “UTORid@utoronto.ca” (substituting the individual UTORid) and password. A Ryerson University community member can connect to the University of Toronto’s wireless network using their assigned credentials.
Getting Started:
- University of Toronto (U of T) students, faculty and staff visiting other institutions:
If you are visiting another institution that is part of the Eduroam Wi-Fi network, login to Eduroam by entering [your UTORid]@utoronto.ca and your UTORid password.
- U of T visitors from a participating Eduroam institution:
The Eduroam network at U of T is accessible to visiting scholars from other participating Eduroam institutions. Simply connect to the Eduroam Wi-Fi network using your home institution credentials.
Before leaving your home institution, check that your device can connect to the Eduroam Wi-Fi network. If you encounter any issues, contact your institution’s help desk for assistance.
- A note for U of T faculty and staff:
U of T faculty and staff with valid UTORid credentials can create up to five unique guest Wi-Fi credentials. The duration of these credentials is valid for a maximum of up to five days. To create your guest Wi-Fi credentials, visit the eVA self-serve portal at: eva.eduroam.ca.
- Conference / special event Wi-Fi:
If you are hosting a conference or other special event at U of T and would like to create a custom SMS passcode for your attendees, please contact your local information technology (IT) help desk and they will be able to create the event passcode for you. Custom SMS event passcodes can be used to automatically generate up to 1,500 unique login credentials for a maximum of 10 consecutive days.
