Camosun uses the Eduroam configuration tool developed by Swansea University. This program will install the Eduroam network profile on your Windows computer and perform the initial configuration.

Important: While every effort has been made to test the Eduroam configuration tool, Camosun College will not be held liable if it causes damage to your computer. If you do not agree with this, please follow the steps under Option 2 • Configure Eduroam manually.

1. Download the Eduroam configuration tool
2. Unzip the downloaded file and run Camosun Eduroam Setup
3. Enter your Eduroam username and password and click Start Setup
4. Once setup is complete click the Exit button

Note If the Eduroam configuration tool gets stuck attempting to connect to Eduroam or obtain an IP address please be patient. After a few connection attempts the tool will finish and you can click the Exit button. If your computer doesn’t automatically connect to Eduroam, turn the wireless off and back on.
