Note

Joining the eduroam wireless network requires you to meet either one of the two conditions below...

  • You have UCCS Credentials (username including @uccs.edu and your password)
    .... or ....
  • You have an account through your home institution, which is a participating institution with eduroam.

If neither of the above apply to you, please visit the UCCS-Guest information page for information regarding guest wireless access.

Verifying certificates

For security reasons you should attempt to setup your wireless connection using system certificate checks. This should be possible on newer Android versions. If you cannot connect with these settings, you can try connecting without validating certificates, but this is not recommended.
