Eduroam
Wireless internet access is available to students, staff and visitors on both Dumfries and Stranraer campuses. Our secure wireless network service provides students and staff with authenticated access to our college network from their devices as well as allowing visitors secure access to the Interne via the eduroam (education roaming) service. This service is provided by the Janet network in the UK.
