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.

You will need to enter your home username and password in order to connect to the eduroam service if these credentials are not already cached on your device. The user credentials supplied by your device must identify your home institution e.g. xyz@abc.ac.uk would identify user xyz from college/university abc.

If you encounter problems, please contact your home institution for assistance.
