All academic and administrative buildings and public spaces are covered by our Eduroam network. All residential buildings are covered by Xfinity WiFi. For information on how to connect to residential Wi-Fi, please visit this page: Housing Internet
Eduroam is the official wireless network for UA students, faculty and staff. Eduroam is a secure, worldwide federated network access service developed for the international research and education community.
Once a user connects a wireless device to the eduroam network at UA, that device is then eligible to connect to over 600 eduroam campuses across the country! Eduroam is also available in 89 countries.
Turn off/on your WiFi as a remedy for slowness or intermittent connectivity. Turning your wireless service off and back on, will reset your connection and reconnect you to the nearest wireless access point.
WiFi uses a radio frequency that is open for everyone to use, and as a consequence, large-scale WiFi networks, such as the ones deployed on the UA campus, require careful coordination and cooperation to operate well and provide quality service. All wireless access points or routers in UA buildings need to be coordinated so that they do not occupy the same channel. The University carefully designs and operates the WiFi networks in each building to allow multiple access points to work with each other and provide a reliable and stable wireless environment for all to use. When a rogue access point is used, this carefully designed system is compromised. Leave the networking to us!
If you are experiencing wireless connection issues, we want to know about it. Please visit 125 Gordon Palmer Hall, send us an email at it...@ua.edu or call us at 205-348-5555. If you are reporting intermittent connectivity or an outage, please be prepared to provide your phone number, campus location, the type of device you are using and your MAC address.

BELLEVUE, Wash., Jan. 11, 2021 -- Lear Corporation (NYSE: LEA), a global automotive technology leader in Seating and E-Systems, today announced that its Xevo software business has partnered with Grubhub, a leading food-ordering and delivery marketplace, to deliver safer, contactless food ordering capabilities in FCA vehicles via an app on the Uconnect Market connected services platform. FCA vehicles are the first to feature the Grubhub app as part of their connected services offerings, allowing consumers to quickly and easily reorder past favorites while on the go. Grubhub boasts the largest and most comprehensive network of restaurant partners, featuring more than 300,000 restaurants in 4,000 U.S. cities. Uconnect Market, developed in partnership with Xevo, enables consumer interactions with popular brands and services through embedded ordering and transaction capabilities via the in-vehicle touchscreen.
In addition to its reorder function, the Grubhub in-vehicle app also makes it easy for consumers to discover "new favorites." If consumers are near a restaurant they have not ordered from before, they can tap a single button that will forward the restaurant's menu to their email for review later, when they are not driving. This partnership expands Uconnect Market's safe transaction capabilities, allowing consumers to complete contactless transactions in a variety of areas, including food, fuel, and parking, without touching shared surfaces. Uconnect Market is available in model-year 2019 and 2020 Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram brand vehicles equipped with connected services and the latest generation of 8.4-inch touchscreens.
"Xevo is focused on helping automakers deliver a distinctive in-vehicle experience. We have a great relationship with FCA, and we're excited to partner with Grubhub to bring their food-ordering capabilities to consumers. These partnerships allow automakers to offer expanded contactless services to their customers, which is particularly important right now with the emphasis on safety and social distancing," said John Absmeier, Lear's Chief Technology Officer. "Streamlining in-vehicle transactions gives our automotive and merchant partners a competitive advantage, allowing them to deliver a more convenient experience and gives consumers the option to easily order and pay for food more safely from their vehicles."
"In-car technology and connected services are growing exponentially in the automotive industry and we have challenged ourselves to stay ahead of the curve with our powerful Uconnect 5 system," said Alan D'Agostini, Director - Global Connected Services, FCA. "With the addition of Grubhub to Uconnect Market, FCA's in-vehicle commerce platform, we offer our customers a convenient option to food ordering, adding to the positive connectivity experience."
"We know our diners love to order while on the go, and our partnership with Xevo allows us to expand that opportunity to the in-vehicle experience," said Matt Sage, senior director of product management at Grubhub. "We're excited for a beloved brand like FCA to be the first to offer Grubhub to their customers."
