WNC supports an extensive wireless network that covers all buildings on each campus.

All active students, faculty and staff should access the Eduroam signal for laptops, tablets, and mobile devices.  Students, faculty and staff log in to the wireless using their WNCAnywhere username and password.

 

Eduroam is the wireless signal for all students, faculty, and staff at WNC. Additionally, visitors from other eduroam participating campuses can easily access this signal using the same credentials they use at the institution they are from.

Access to eduroam is available on campus in all locations where there is wifi. After you successfully log into eduroam, you will have internet access (some restrictions apply).
