Concordia University is a member of eduroam (education roaming), a service that allows member institutions from the international research and academic community to securely access wireless services at other participating institutions using their “home” credentials.
Concordia University students, faculty and staff can use their Netname and Netname Passwords at universities such as McGill, Université de Montreal, and University of Toronto to log on to the wireless service. A complete list of participating institutions is available at http://www.eduroam.org.
Similarly, students, faculty and staff visiting from other member institutions will be able to use Concordia’s wireless service using the credentials issued by their institution.
The setup requirements to access a particular institution’s eduroam service varies. Concordia University members need to consult the set-up instructions published at the institution they are visiting. Visitors to Concordia need to follow these setup instructions.
Concordia University students, faculty and staff
Concordia end-users can access eduroam at any participating member sites (including most satellite campuses that provide wireless access) in the following areas (consult http://www.eduroam.org for a complete list):
- Canada
- Europe
- Australia
- Asia Pacific
Students, faculty and staff should test their credentials before visiting another institution. Please follow the instructions below to configure your device to perform this test.
Important: When compared to the university’s production wireless service, the eduroam service is designed for relatively light usage. When performing your test, set the eduroam SSID to connect ahead of the ConcordiaUniversity SSID. After testing is complete, the ConcordiaUniversity SSID should be set to connect before the eduroam SSID.
When testing the Concordia Eduroam, Concordia students, faculty and staff will need to connect using yournetname@concordia.ca
