JANET Roaming Service / eduroam

The University of Gloucestershire is a member of the JANET Roaming Service (JRS) which is part of the international roaming service eduroam.

JRS provides the infrastructure that allows University of Gloucestershire users to login at any participating institution using their UoG login name and password. JRS also allows users from any participating institution to login at the University of Gloucestershire using their local login name and password.

JRS defines three different tiers of service which participating sites may adopt, the University of Gloucestershire implements the JRS Tier 2 which is the most commonly used. The service is wireless only using the SSID eduroam, 802.1x for access control with PEAP and MSCHAPv2 for encryption. This implementation provides the simplest solution for users.

All users must abide by the terms of the JANET Roaming Policy and the University Acceptable Network Usage Policy.    ICT-Policy (93Kb Adobe PDF)
