Remember

• While at Niagara College, you should be using Niagara College’s wireless network (AirNC-Secure).
• It is important to set and test your computers and portable devices prior to travelling to a partner institution.
• Once it is set up, you will have wireless access to any eduroam-enabled institution in the world.
• If you are visiting another university or college and need wireless access, as long as you are at an eduroam member institution, you will not need a guest account from the campus you are visiting — you simply use eduroam.

If you are having difficulty with connectivity contact your local ITS team. The institution you are trying to connect to will be able to assist with any issues on site.
