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/.
