On Monday, August 19th, DoIT updated the certificate for the eduroam Wi-Fi network at UMBC to enhance security and privacy. This certificate must be updated annually.

If you see a message on your device asking you to verify or trust the certificate before connecting, or an error message about connecting to eduroam, then you should be able to fix those by using our eduroam setup guide to configure your device for eduroam. That process takes about a minute, and afterwards you shouldn't see alerts about subsequent certificate updates. Your device should connect automatically to the eduroam network while at UMBC, or at any other eduroam-supporting institution. You will need to repeat the process whenever you change your MyUMBC password.

Our setup guide has detailed instructions for common types of devices. If you have questions or need assistance getting connected or reconnected to eduroam, please contact the Technology Support Center (TSC) at 410-455-3838 or submit a ticket at help.umbc.edu.

The following images reflect what you will see when accepting the certificate:
