eduroam wifi release to Life Sciences

The University’s new eduroam wifi provision will start to be turned on in Life Sciences buildings on Thu 6 Dec. The transition will be gradual and it may take all day to achieve full release – we will email you to let you know when all work is complete.

When the lifesci and UoD_WiFi SSID wifi options are no longer available to you, this means your location has been migrated. You should then connect to eduroam using the instructions in the IT website guide. Make sure you enter your full University username (jbloggs@dundee.ac.uk) and password when asked.

Life Sciences staff will be able to access JBC datacentre resources on the Life Sciences network from any campus location when their computer is connected to eduroam wifi.
