Using Eduroam for Wireless Access at UC Davis and Beyond

Eduroam is a global wireless network access service for research and education. Eligible organizations (UC Davis) can provide users (students, researchers, staff, and faculty) with wireless access at participating institutions through the use of their home institution credentials. This includes all University of California sites, some CSU sites, and other public and private universities around the world. If you are on a college campus and you see Eduroam as a wireless option, you can use it.

Because Eduroam provides global access, you need to enter your Kerberos ID (not your email ID) followed by @ucdavis.edu (i.e. kerberos@ucdavis.edu) and your Kerberos passphrase. This allows you to be authenticated to your home campus (UC Davis).
