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.
