AUP provides Wi-Fi internet access in all buildings of its campus. AUP devices are pre-configured with a Wi-Fi connection. For personal devices on AUP's campus, the eduroam network is the primary network for use by AUP students, faculty, staff, and alumni with a valid AUP NetID, as well as visitors from other educational institutions who are members of the eduroam service.
If you don't have access to eduroam, you can connect to our Wi-Fi network either as a Guest or as a Conference attendee.

Connecting to eduroam - visitors to AUP
If you are member of another educational institution who has already set up eduroam access, your device should automatically connect to the eduroam network on our campus. If this doesn't occur, please verify that your password is correct.
If you have not yet configured eduroam, there are two options:
- Go to cat.eduroam.org, click on the blue button that says "Click here to download your eduroam installer", and search for the name of your home institution in the list. If you find it, click on it, and follow the instructions.
- If your university is not listed in the list on the web page mentioned above, your home institution does not participate in the Eduroam CAT program, so you will need to configure eduroam manually. You may be able to connect by just selecting the eduroam wireless network on your device, using your academic e-mail address as your username, and your regular academic password as your password.
Note that AUP cannot provide support for issues related to your login being rejected. Any issues related to your connection to eduroam must be directed to your home institution's IT support team.
When connecting to eduroam at AUP, you are required to comply with our University Information Technology Policies. This policy applies to all users of AUP Information Technology (IT) resources regardless of their relationship with the University and irrespective of whether those resources are accessed on- or off-campus.
