As of Friday 8/12/16, Denison’s secure wireless network – eduroam – requires that you log in with your full Denison email address as your username along with your Denison password.

With the changes on Friday 8/12/16, the wireless network “denison” is being phased out in favor of the following two wireless networks:
  • eduroam – Global WiFi roaming for academia
    • A secure wireless network for Denison students, faculty and staff, as well as visitors from other eduroam member institutions
  • Denison Guest – Campus public network
    • An open wireless network for Denison guests or devices that are unable to use eduroam
