Connect to Eduroam

NOTE: If you are a RRC Polytech staff member or student, please use the “RRC Wireless” Wi-Fi network to access College resources while on campus.

Eduroam (education roaming) is an international roaming service that provides easy and secure network access when staff and students visit an educational institution other than their own. Being a member of Eduroam gives you access to thousands of hotspots across the globe at no additional cost for staff and students.

  • Authentication of staff and student accounts is performed by RRC Polytech, using the same College credentials as when you access the network at the College.
  • Authorization to access the internet and possibly other resources is handled by the college or university that you are visiting.
