UMD's Official WiFi Network is eduroam
Get connected to WiFi: eduroam is the official campus WiFi network for the UMD community.
For a secure and encrypted connection to the campus wireless network, all students, faculty, and staff should use eduroam. It is the official WiFi network across all University of Minnesota campuses, as well as thousands of institutions worldwide. Once logged in at UMD, your device will automatically connect whenever you visit participating locations globally.
The alternative UofM-Guest network is strictly for short-term visitors without a UMN account needing basic internet access, and does not support streaming or resources like Canvas and MyU. For smart TVs, streaming devices, and gaming consoles that cannot log into eduroam, register them on the IoT Wi-Fi Service using your UMN Internet ID and password.
Need to connect to eduroam? We're here to help!
You can:
- Visit Technology Help for steps on how to connect and troubleshooting guides.
- Contact the ITSS Help Desk at 218-726-8847 or [email protected].
- Stop by the TechCenter at 165 Kirby Plaza.

The Lighthouse
The Lighthouse spotlights Student Life as a campus resource
Welcome to a brand-new academic year at UMD! New beginnings can be incredibly exciting; however, new beginnings can also be disorienting. While many support services are available for students on campus, navigating those waters and finding the right spaces can be challenging. The Lighthouse is a regular spotlight focusing on a resource at UMD or in the Duluth community. This week’s highlight is the Division of Student Life. Student Life includes a wide variety of departments, programs, and services that support students and their success at the university. From belonging to health and wellbeing, to student basic needs, we are here for you. Reach out if you have questions or concerns during this academic year.
• 245 Kirby Plaza is where you can find the Vice Chancellor’s Office; however, Student Life encompasses a variety of departments across campus dedicated to student wellbeing, engagement, and success.
