Prior to traveling, you should configure your computer to connect to the institution you will be visiting. If you need assistance, contact the CCS Help Centre.
Use JoinNow or Eduroam profile utility and follow the instructions to connect your device to eduroam. The same instructions for synchronising your password and configuring your computer for uog-wifi-secure also apply to eduroam. When you enter your username at login, ensure that it includes your full domain name (for example, username@uoguelph.ca). For University of Guelph Students, use the @uoguelph.ca domain, not the @mail.uoguelph.ca domain.
To configure your devices not supported by JoinNow, use the information in the following table.
