Changes to UoY Eduroam settings

From 17 September, there will be changes to the way that you connect to eduroam at York to use wifi or network access points in (for example) the Library or Fairhurst. At the moment, you can connect using just your username (e.g. abc500) but from 17 September onwards, you'll need to use your username plus @york.ac.uk (e.g. abc500@york.ac.uk).

You will need to change the settings on any devices you use to connect to eduroam e.g. laptops, tablets, phones. You can make this change now and we advise you to use the automatic setup tool which will ensure that all settings are correct. To use this tool:

Connect to eduroam (existing users) or UoYSetup (new users)

• Open a web browser
• Go to http://autoconnect.york.ac.uk
• Click on Start and follow the instructions

In a few instances, the automatic setup will not work - if this is the case, please follow the instructions in the IT Services manual setup guides:

Issues with NICE BNF and BNFC Apps for Smartphones

Healthcare professionals can register for smartphone apps to use the BNF and BNFC for free with their NHS Athens username and passwords. Full details are available at http://www.nice.org.uk/aboutnice/nicewebsitedevelopment/NICEApps.jsp

Some users who have already downloaded the apps have recently been experiencing issues due to changes and upgrades in the software. If you are experiencing any issues using the apps, the current advice is to try removing the app and then reinstalling.

NICE has launched a free British National Formulary app for smartphones, which is available to access using an NHS Athens account. NHS Athens accounts are available to all HYMS students.  If you are unsure of your account details, go to http://libguides.hull.ac.uk/content.php?pid=206456&sid=1722530 to find out how to get your password.
