eduroam (educational roaming) is an international secure wireless roaming service for users in higher and further education. It provides staff and students easy and secure Internet access in College and when visiting another institution. Connect to the College's eduroam service by using <StudentID>@nrc.ac.uk and your College network password. At Northern Regional College, we operate a “Home” service which means that when you are away at another eduroam-enabled institution you can use your College credentials to connect to the internet via their eduroam service.

Connection difficulties

If you are having difficulty connecting, please check if there are any current issues by contacting your local IT Service Desk or email servicedesk@nrc.ac.uk.

Protecting your account details

You must not share your password or eduroam credentials with anyone. Allowing someone else to use your College login details is not acceptable or safe behaviour and is in breach of the College Acceptable Use Policy.

Your password is not simply something that provides network access but is also a critical part of your online identity. It MUST NOT be shared with anyone.

Lending your password or eduroam credentials to a friend would result in you being held accountable for any misuse. It’s also worth remembering that these credentials do not just provide access to a network, but will often provide access to e-mail, file storage and other services that may contain highly personal and sensitive information.
