Connecting to Eduroam

Description

Eduroam is a worldwide educational wireless network available at all Phoenix College locations.  Eduroam allows students, faculty, and staff from participating institutions (including all MCCCD campuses) to quickly and securely access the Internet when visiting other participating institutions.

These instructions will help connect student and employee personally-owned devices to the eduroam wireless network.  Eduroam is the recommended wireless network for anyone with an MEID or other Eduroam-eligible login, as it offers a more secure connection with no bandwidth limitations*. 

*College-owned devices should automatically connect to the PCSecure network, and guests without an MEID or other eduroam-eligible credential should use the "Maricopa" guest wireless network.
