Each college and department chooses how to set up internet access in their own buildings, but the eduroam wireless service is the most widely available. Internet access provided by eduroam is\u00a0not only available in Aamusted, but in academic institutions around the world \u2013 with the same username and password.<\/p>

These are the steps for getting set up on eduroam:<\/p>

  1. Activate your Aamusted Single Sign-on (SSO) account, if you haven\u2019t done so already<\/li>
  2. Go to the\u00a0Self-Registration website\u00a0to generate a Remote Access account<\/li>
  3. Follow the instructions on our IT Help website to help you\u00a0install and set up eduroam\u00a0on your device.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    You will need a Remote Access account to get onto eduroam. This is separate from your Single Sign-On account, and has a different password but the same username. Don\u2019t forget that your Remote Access login is your Aamusted username followed by @aamusted.edu.gh. Simple descriptions of these different accounts are available. Chat with IT support for more information<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    If you have a computer that is part of the Managed Staff Desktop service \u2013 this mainly applies to staff in University Administration and Services (UAS), as well as those in Gardens, Libraries and Museums (GLAM) \u2013 you can access the internet easily. If your managed computer is connected via its network cable or your managed laptop is docked, you will automatically get online through the University\u2019s ethernet. All you have to do is log in to your CONNECT account.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Your CONNECT account is different from your Single Sign-On account, and you will be helped to set it up when you join the University. For more information, see our\u00a0Your University accounts<\/a>\u00a0page<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    The University network has a finite data capacity which is shared between all members of the University. Some colleges and departments may restrict some file sharing applications to avoid excessive consumption of these shared resources. Please check with your local IT staff.<\/p>

    Remember, too, that file sharing copyright material is illegal and could result in prosecution.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
