Connecting to Eduroam

What is eduroam?

The eduroam (education roaming) network is a secure, world-wide roaming wireless service that many campuses have deployed to their networks. Once you’re connected to eduroam, you can enjoy WiFi access at TCU, and other participating educational institutions. This network is available for the personal devices of current Faculty/Staff and students (guests from other eduroam campuses can also use this network).  If you have questions about this new system, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions Page for more details.

Note:  Faculty/staff can use the eduroam network to give their guest users with a business purpose access the Internet via two methods:

  • If the guest is from a school that also has an eduroam network, then they can connect to eduroam with their school email address (as the username) and password.
  • If they don’t have eduroam at their home location, then all current TCU employees can create 3 day guest accounts for them by logging into myTCU and clicking on the Technology icon.
