Eduroam (education roaming) is a secure, encrypted Wi-Fi network available at UCI. Eduroam allows students, researchers, faculty, and staff to securely access the internet and network resources at any participating institution using their own institutional credentials.

Whether you’re moving across campus or spending time studying or working at another research and education institution, Eduroam gives you seamless internet connectivity.
