WiFi Access

 The WiFi networks 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. Please see 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 call Wahoo. Instructions for connecting to wahoo.

Hospital/clinical Buildings

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

Avoid the guest WiFi networks (UVA Guest, uvahealth-guest, etc.) when consistent network connectivity is needed (taking an exam?). The academic WiFi network (eduroam) is typically the most reliable and robust.

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
