WiFi Access

The WiFi networks on grounds require that your devices have an updated, supported operating system (specifically within two versions of the current release). Please keep your devices up-to-date.

Academic Buildings – Medical Education Building, Pinn Hall, MR5, Health Sciences Library

The encrypted eduroam network is your best option. It requires a digital certificate to connect and here are the instructions for connecting to eduroam. Digital certificates expire after approximately 14 months; so, you will have to repeat this process at that time. If you have difficulty connecting to the eduroam network, you can try the unencrypted WiFi network called Wahoo. See the instructions for connecting to Wahoo for more information.

Hospital/Clinical Buildings

Connect to the hscs-wireless network. It requires your health system (HIT) credentials aka uvahealth.org – userid (just the part before the @ in your email) & password.

Eduroam from other Participating Institutions

UVA is a member of eduroam, a global wifi network standard for academic institutions. If you came from another participating institution, your device may automatically connect. However, you will be treated as on a “guest” network, so students should not use it. Please contact MedEd Support and we will help you remove the previous institution’s wifi and properly sign up for UVA’s eduroam wifi.

Other Networks

The UVA WiFi Setup network is used solely for configuring your device for eduroam connectivity. Avoid the guest WiFi networks (UVA Guest, uvahealth-guest, etc.) when consistent, reliable network connectivity is needed. You will be unable to connect to some UVA systems (VMED and Oasis) from the guest WiFi networks.

Note: Both academic and clinical networks are available in some buildings. The academic networks are typically more robust and thus recommended. More information here – https://in.virginia.edu/wifi
