Body
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
- Identity: <Your Username>@newpaltz.edu
- Anonymous Identity: <This must be blank. If it says "anonymous" delete the word.>
- Password: <Your Password>
Notes for Legacy Devices running Android 12 or older:
- If there is a setting for Online Certificate Status set it to "Do not validate". Modern Android versions do not have this setting.
- If "PAP" is not available under Phase 2 authentication then select "None" instead. This is most common for Android OS versions before Android 10.
- If under CA certificate the option "Trust on First Use" is not shown then you have a very old version of the Android OS. It may instead have the option "Do Not Verify" instead. If so select "Do Not Verify". If both options are unavailable then you are probably using an old broken build of Android 10 or 11. If you can't upgrade the device to Android OS 12 or newer then you'll need to use the NP Hawks Devices network instead of eduroam.
An example screenshot for Android 13 or newer devices:
Tap Connect. You may be asked "Is this network trusted?". If the message on the screen matches the screenshot below then tap "Yes, connect" to continue. (The SHA-256 fingerprint is up to date as of May 28, 2025.)
Upon successfully entering the above details you should now be connected to the eduroam wireless network.
The most common cause for problems setting up your device is a mistyped username or password.
