Members of the Carleton community are strongly encouraged to connect their wireless devices to our eduroam network. Because this is a secured network, there is a configuration process for each device that you connect. This is a one-time process, and only takes a few minutes. Once completed, you will have full, secure access to all of Carleton's secure network resources, as well as full Internet access, of course. An additional advantage to configuring your device in this way is that, if you visit another institution that has also implemented eduroam, your device will seamlessly connect to their network upon arrival.

Any wireless devices which are not configured for eduroam and instead make use of the Carleton Guest network will have full internet access, but will be unable to access a number of secured campus network resources.

Note that devices without built-in web browsers, such as some gaming consoles, will be unable to connect to eduroam. Most such devices are not compatible with the protocols required to ensure the security of the network. 

Campus Guests

If you are a visitor to campus and wish to make use of our wireless network, please connect your device to our Carleton Guest network. This network is open and is not encrypted; transmissions across the network are not secure. It provides access to the Internet and some Carleton computing resources. You will be asked to provide an email address, but this is only used to manage network load* and will not be used for any form of communication. 

*A large wireless network such as Carleton's is "broken down" into smaller units which is easier to manage and, in particular, helps to avoid network congestion. The email address that you provide is fed into an algorithm which then assigns your device(s) to a particular unit.
