How to Connect to the eduroam Wireless Network

Tags Wi-Fi

eduroam is a global wireless network access service for research and education. This is an encrypted wireless network. As an Oakland University student, faculty or staff, you do have access to this wireless network. We encourage you to configure this wireless network on your device(s) if you plan on visiting another eduroam participating campus or institution.

Note: As this wireless network will not provide you with as many of the University’s systems as Grizznet-Secure, we discourage its use while on Oakland University’s campus.

Who is Eligible?
