Eduroam Wi-Fi

Main Content

Eduroam is TCU's wireless network for the personal devices of faculty, staff, students, alumni, and retirees.

Eduroam is a secure, global wireless network available at TCU and other participating institutions. Current TCU faculty, staff, and students can connect their personal devices to this internet-only network. This network is available in academic, administrative, and residential locations but not in sporting locations.

Use the resource below to learn how to connect eligible devices.

When you travel to another participating institution, you can use your TCU email and password to access their Wi-Fi, just as visitors from other participating institutions can access ours.
