eduroam (short for "education roaming") is a secure global roaming Wi-Fi access service for the education and research communities. For more information about eduroam and where service is available see our introduction to eduroam.
Only ONE campus Wi-Fi network should be setup on your device at a time. If you setup a device for eduroam make sure to make your device forget the NP Hawks WPA, NP Hawks Devices, and NP Hawks Guest networks to avoid potential connection problems. See our resources on how to "forget" a Wi-Fi network on a device.
To begin open the Settings app found in your device's app drawer.
On the Settings app screen tap the option named Network & Internet or Wi-Fi.
On the Network & internet screen tap Internet or Wi-Fi.
On the next screen tap the eduroam wireless network to connect.
For your username you will need to use your SUNY New Paltz Username followed by @newpaltz.edu. As an example if your SUNY New Paltz Username is myusername then you should enter it as myusername@newpaltz.edu.
For newer devices running Android 13 or newer use the following settings on the setup screen:
- EAP method: TTLS
- Phase 2 authentication: PAP
- CA certificate: Trust on First Use (If this option is not available the device is running an older version of Android and must use the instructions for Android 12 or older below.)
- Identity: <Your Username>@newpaltz.edu
- Anonymous Identity: <This must be blank. If it says "anonymous" delete the word.>
- Password: <Your Password>

The most common cause for problems setting up your device is a mistyped username or password.
