Eduroam is a Wi-Fi network available at the University of Chichester which students, staff and Eduroam visitors can connect to.
Once connected you will then be able to visit any of the following participating institutions and connect to their Wi-Fi automatically.
Please view the following setup guides for connecting to Eduroam Wi-Fi:
Here are some useful Eduroam links (external):
If you change your network password, and have Wi-Fi setup on either your iPhone, iPad, Laptop or Wireless Device, it will not pick up the new password automatically.
If you have the latest iPhone / iPad software installed iOS4 then you should be automatically prompted to input your new password.
However if you have yet to upgrade to iOS4 then you may find your main computer account gets locked out. In this case you can manually remove then reinstall the connection with your new password. Once updated you will need to get your account unlocked again.
Removing your Wi-Fi Account:
Tap settings then the UoC network:
From the Wi-Fi screen, click the right facing blue arrow next to the UoC netowork, then choose forget this network:
Confirm forget network then tap wi-fi networks:
You have now successfully removed your WiFi account.
Note: if you are a visitor and already use eduroam from another organisation, then your device should connect automatically to our eduroam network.

4. Click the '+' button to add a new network:
5. Click the 'Show Networks' button:

7. Select the 'eduroam' network, and if you already use eduroam use your eduroam username e.g. abcd1234@ox.ac.uk
However the username will differ for University of Chichester students and staff:
- UOC Staff input your network username followed by @chi.ac.uk e.g. breynold@chi.ac.uk (not your email address)
Confirm your normal password.
Lastly make sure '802.1x' is set to 'Automatic' then click 'Add':
8. You may then get a box stating 'The server certificate is not trusted because there are no explicit trust settings'.
Click 'Show Certificate':
9. You should now be presented with a window titled 'Verify Certificate'. This should refer to radius.chi.ac.uk as being a valid certificate, and signed by 'GlobalSign Organization Validation CA'.
10. Again you may be prompted to confirm your computer username and password (that has administrator rights):
11. Your computer will now authenticate to the network, and you should be able to access the internet.

Tap settings on your iPhone/iPad, then choose Wi-Fi:
If Wi-Fi is off (like in the image below), make sure you turn it ON, then click the eduroam network (not on the blue arrow next to it):
The username will differ for students & staff:
- Students input your email address e.g. cweb1@chi.ac.uk with your normal network password and tap Join.
- Staff input your network username followed by @chi.ac.uk e.g. breynold@chi.ac.uk with your normal network password and tap Join.
At the certificate screen just tap accept:
If you input your login details correctly you'll notice a tick to the left of the eduroam network name, then back in the Settings screen you should see eduroam in the Wi-Fi section:
That's it! You can now start using the internet with WiFi speeds.
Everytime you see the eduroam network ticked in the WiFi Networks screen, then you are connected to Wi-Fi.
IMPORTANT: If you change your main network password, and have WiFi setup on either your iPhone/iPad, Laptop or Wireless Device, when it tries to connect to Wi-Fi you should be prompted to input your new password automatically. Some older software such as the iPhone OS3 won't prompt you and may lockout your whole account. If this happens try and follow our guide to remove the account and re-install it, or ask at the Service Desk if you still are having problems.
- Eduroam will soon be our main Wi-Fi network, and once connected you will be able to visit other participating institutions who use Eduroam, and it will connect automatically.
- ChiUni is an alternative Wi-Fi network which you can also connect to on the Chichester or Bognor Regis campus, however you will have to use your main network username e.g. cweb1 or breynold instead of your email address.
The University’s Guest Wireless Network is called Uoc_Guest. To get a password for this network please go to one of the Service Desks.
Daily guest accounts will only work between 9:00am and 6:00pm and are not allowed out of these hours.
Weekly accounts can also be created. A special request must be made by the department or by visitors at the Service Desk if they are planning to use wireless for five or more days on the campus.
