eduroam Global Network

Randolph-Macon College is part of eduroam which is an international wireless network providing secure internet service for faculty, staff, and students when traveling to other participating eduroam institutions.

Once your device is connected to the eduroam WiFi, it will connect automatically as you move from one eduroam institution to another, similar to moving between buildings while on the RMC campus. This wireless network provides internet access at any participating organization for members of the RMC community with a valid wireless login.

The Eduroam network is encrypted and secure, and requires you to authenticate once with your home institution full email address and password. (You don’t have to authenticate again until your next password change.)

Eduroam is available in thousands of institutions across 90 countries and territories worldwide.

Please note that RMC issued windows laptops connect to "R-MC" while on campus. We recommend not connecting to eduroam even though it is broadcasting as it is intended for visitors from participating institutions to connect to a secure network without requiring onboarding of devices.. RMC faculty and staff connecting to RMC's eduroam would still need to onboard their personal computers and college macs when using their RMC email address and password since it is their home institution.

If unable to connect to a participating institution's broadcasting eduroam network when on their campus, make sure you are putting in your full RMC email address for the username which will allow a match when looking up to see if you are eligible.
