Get access to network and computers

1. Wifi-access to Internet only

1.1 Existing account on Eduroam

Connect to the Internet from your laptop by logging on to Eduroam as username@your.domain. This will work if your home institution is member of the Eduroam network. (Notice that a username is typically 3-8 lowercase characters, it's not your email!)

1.2 Set up a new wifi account

Your host can grant you access to the Eduroam network.

1.3 Use uioguest wifi, that lasts 24 hours

If you are visiting us for just a few days, perhaps uioguest wifi will suffice.

2. Access to desktop computers and UiO services

A computer account at UiO (a username and a corresponding password) gets created automatically once the employment or enrollement period has started. Guest researchers can be registered in https://gjest.uio.no/ by your section leader, who typically needs to know:

1 A statement that you agree to abide by the IT regulations at UiO  
2 Full name (all names, don't abbreviate, don't replace any characters)  
3 Date of birth (this format is the least ambiguous: 23 April 1989)  
4 Email address where UiO can contact you  
5 International mobile phone number where UiO can contact you  
6 End date of access (possible to extend later)  

When the section leader is done, you will get notified and asked to provide further information. Finally, a computer account will be automatically created within a day.

3. How to obtain your password

3.1 The forgotten password service

To find out what your username is, and to set a password, go to https://password.uio.no/.
