Expanded WiFi Access Through Eduroam

Good Afternoon All,

We are pleased to announce that Trent University is now a member of Eduroam. Eduroam (education roaming) allows users (lecturers, researchers, staff, students) from participating institutions to securely access the Internet from any eduroam-enabled institution. Trent users now have free access to WIFI internet services provided at 5,886 Eduroam institutions worldwide. A list of all members can be found here;

What does this mean to you?

When visiting participating Eduroam institutions, you are able to join their "Eduroam" WIFI network by logging in with your Trent e-mail address and password. This gives you access to the internet and depending on local policies at the visited institution, you may also have access to additional resources (for example printers) at your disposal. Detailed instructions regarding set-up can be found at;

What does this mean for visiting lecturers, researchers, staff and students?

When a lecturer, researcher, staff, or student visits us from an Eduroam member institution, they are able to join our "Eduroam" WIFI network (now visible on Trent's network) by logging in with their home institution's credentials. Detailed instructions regarding set-up can be found at;
