Subscribing to eduroam
1. Are you eligible?
The eduroam service is open to:
- Research and Higher Education – Any U.S.-based research organization or higher-education-related institution can join the InCommon eduroam roaming wireless service. This includes non-profit colleges and universities, museums, libraries, and research labs. If you aren’t sure about joining, please ask us via our Help web form.
- Multi-campus universities and other organizations with multiple entities – We have a group agreement that allows multiple entities with legal or organizational ties to sign a single, common agreement (for example, a multi-campus university system). For more on this option, please ask us via our Help web form.
- Organizations outside of Research and Education – Any company or organization based in the U.S. can offer eduroam as a hotspot at no charge! This is sometimes called a wireless access point, a service provider, a wifi hotspot. For more information about being an eduroam SP in the U.S., contact us through our Help webform, or go to Step 2 below and click through the Hotspot legal agreement. It’ll be great to have you.
- K12 schools are now supported through our “Support Organization” partnerships, launching state by state. Right now: Arizona, Connecticut, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington are live and growing their K12 communities. Interested in joining your state’s program? Contact us via our our Help web form!
- Please note: You do not have to be an Internet2 member or InCommon Participant in order to subscribe to eduroam.
