The eduroam wireless network service provides Wi-Fi access for Chesterfield College Group staff and students. It can also be used by visitors from other participating institutions.
What is eduroam?
eduroam is a secure, world-wide roaming access service, and allows students and staff to log in and access the Internet from any participating location.
- An organisation can take part in the eduroam service through being a “Home” institution, a “Visited” institution, or both:
- A “Home” institution provides authentication for its users when they wish to access Internet facilities at a participating “Visited” organisation
A “Visited” institution permits members of other organisations to use its Internet facilities whilst on site, using their “Home” institution credentials
Chesterfield College Group participates as both a “Home” and a “Visited” institution. The eduroam network is available at all Group sites except Learning Unlimited Nottingham and Learning Unlimited Birmingham sites.
