Cause

I'm a Student, Faculty, or Staff member from within SDBOR visiting campus and would like to connect to the WiFi.

I'm a Student, Faculty, or Staff member from another University participating in eduroam visiting campus and would like to connect to the WiFi.  

Resolution

If you have an account at a University participating in eduraom, you will be able to use your .edu credentials to connect to the eduroam Network on Campus. If you are unsure if your University is particpating, please go to: eduroam's "Where" section of their Website, and navigate through your country to find your School.

If you are a BHSU Student, Faculty, or Staff member visiting another University, and see eduroam as an available option, you may use your BHSU credentials to connect to the network.  

If you do not have an account at a particapting University, and you're currently visiting our Campus as a guest, you will want to connect to BHSU-Guest. BHSU-Guest is available to anyone who makes an account with their email address and phone number. 
 

Depending on your Device, the steps you'll take to get connected may look slightly different.
Please make sure to follow the appropriate guide for your device.
