What is this?
This article explains how to connect your iOS device (iPhone, iPad) to the Eduroam Wi-Fi network.
Connecting to eduroam Wi-Fi
Download the
geteduroam
app from the Apple App store.
Use either your device's data plan or our
NSCCGuest
WiFi network to do this.
It can also be setup at home and then you will be connected to Eduroam once you are back on campus.
This app only has to be used once to setup the secure connection. After that, your device automatically reconnects to Eduroam.
Search for 'NSCC' or 'Nova Scotia Community College' then click on the college name
Enter your NSCC credentials in this format W######@campus.nscc.ca
Then click "Connect"
Follow the prompts to install the Wi-Fi profile and connect to the network:
Click 'Allow"
Click 'Install'
Click 'Install'
Click 'Done'
That's it !
You will be automatically connected to the Eduroam Wi-Fi network each time you are on campus
If you change your NSCC password, you'll be prompted to re-enter it
You may see a privacy warning message in the Wi-Fi setting page.
That warning comes from turning off the Private Addressing feature - which should be done to connect to eduroam.
That privacy feature is intended to be used on unsecured public Wi-Fi networks - such as at a Tim Horton's or McDonald's, where your devices connection information is used/sold for marketing and tracking purposes.
