Connecting to the eduroam wireless network at/from other institutions

This article covers how students and employees from eduroam participating institutions can connect to eduroam at other participating sites

Overview

eduroam is a secure wireless network operated by CANARIE, the national operator of eduroam in Canada. Langara College is a participant of the Canadian Access Federation, which allows students, faculty, and staff from participating institutions to connect to eduroam at participating sites.

If you are an active Langara College student or employee, if you can connect your personal device to eduroam on campus, you can also connect your same personal device to eduroam at a participating institution. Or vice versa, if you are an active student or employee at a participating institution, you can connect your personal device to eduroam at Langara College if you are already able to connect to eduroam at your home institution.
