Request wifi access for visitors

Updated on: 16 July 2025

Visitors can use one of the University-supplied wifi networks when meeting staff members or attending events at the University.

To log in to eduroam at the University of St Andrews, visitors from eduroam-participating institutions can use the same login details they use at their institution.

University visitors who don't have an eduroam login can get online using:

  • a temporary eduroam account requested by their staff host
  • free BT wifi during the summer

How to request temporary eduroam accounts

You must send your request with at least five working days' notice, providing the following:

  • mobile number or email address for each guest
  • date or dates of your visit

For less than 10 visitors

Email itservicedesk@st-andrews.ac.uk.

For more than 10 visitors attending an event or conference

Complete the eduroam visitor access form.

The IT Service Desk will send each visitor their login details.
