Friday, October 19th, Creighton University’s Division of Information Technology and Library Services launches a new wireless network option for the campus community. Eduroam, a worldwide system of wireless networks, allows faculty, staff and students to securely access the wireless networks at participating academic and research institutions. By logging in with your Blue credentials at any participating campus, you will have the ability to access the eduroam network, connecting you to networks of partner institutions.

Having the ability to log in to a secure network as if you were at your own university alleviates a great deal of hassle when attending conferences or researching at other institutions. In turn providing an eduroam network offers this same convenience to counterparts from partner universities when they visit Creighton.

Where is eduroam?
Nationally, eduroam is located at more than 1,000 institutions within the US and totals more than 6,000 eduroam hotspots at universities, research centers, and education institutions worldwide. Other institutions locally using eduroam include the University of Nebraska system as well as Iowa State and Kansas State Universities. To search for participating institutions, visit http://www.eduroam.org/where .

Accessing the eduroam Network
All CU students, faculty and staff have access to the eduroam network. While on Creighton's campus, select eduroam on your device and log in using your NetID email address (including the @creighton.edu) and Blue Password. Your device is now connected to the eduroam network. When visiting a participating institution, simply select eduroam and your device will automatically connect.
