The University provides three wireless networks on campus for general use:
EDUROAM: for current students, faculty, and staff (computers and mobile phones)
Sewanee-IoT: for current students, faculty, and staff (smart devices)
Sewanee-Guest: for visitors
All networks provide Internet access, and both EDUROAM and Sewanee-IoT can be accessed with current student, faculty, or staff credentials.
Our central network, EDUROAM, is affiliated with institutions around the world, so your Sewanee credentials can give you access in other places too (see more information about connecting to EDUROAM around the globe here.)
