ITS is excited to announce eduroam (education roaming), a new wireless network at Drake. Students, faculty, and staff at any eduroam-participating institution can access the eduroam wireless network at all other participating institutions worldwide. This means that by logging into eduroam on campus using your Drake email address and password, you will then be able to connect to eduroam networks wherever you travel, whether you’re visiting friends at Iowa State, University of Iowa, and University of Northern Iowa, or traveling the world. Currently eduroam is available in over 1,000 locations in 100 countries, so if you travel for J-Term or study a semester abroad, you can take your wireless network with you.

The eduroam network is replacing DUStudent on September 13. The only change from the current DUStudent network is that you must log into eduroam using your Drake email address, rather than your Drake ID number. This ensures that your credentials are passed securely anywhere you connect to eduroam.

The new eduroam network is also key to wirelessly connect gaming and streaming devices in the residence halls. Instructions can be found here.

If you want a wired connection in the residence halls, you can request one by going to this address.

Learn more about eduroam at our FAQ page  and make the switch today.
