Eduroam/JANET Roaming allows users visiting participating institutions to access network resources using the logon credentials from their own institution. Eduroam allows users guest access at other universities without requiring special guest accounts. The level of network access (e.g the Internet, the Library Catalogue) a visitor has is determined by the host university and may vary from one university to the next. The level of access to your home university's resources (e.g Remote Desktop, email) is determined by your home university. More information about the Eduroam/Janet Roaming service can be found at JANET Roaming|.

JANET Roaming is part of the eduroam federation, which provides an infrastructure for roaming between institutions through Europe and the Pacific Rim. Institutions within the US have also expressed an interest in eduroam. For more information, see www.eduroam.org|.

All participants (institutions and individual users) are bound by the JANET Roaming Policy| (pdf file)
