eduroam (education roaming) is a secure, international wireless (Wi-Fi) service available to all staff and students at Runshaw College.
Important information before you get started:
- All eduroam staff usernames start with your college username and finish with @runshaw.ac.uk
- All eduroam student usernames start with your college username and finish with @student.runshaw.ac.uk
- For example, when setting up eduroam, if you are a student: userID@student.runshaw.ac.uk and if you are a member of staff: userID@runshaw.ac.uk. If you don’t enter the username in the correct format, it won’t work.
What you need to do:
- Ensure you’re connected to a wired, Wi-Fi or mobile data (4G/5G etc) network
- Visit cat.eduroam.org on the device(s) you want to use on eduroam
- Click on “Click here to download your eduroam installer”

- Follow the on-screen instructions (these will vary, depending on your device type)
Android users can also download the geteduroam app from Google Play.
