Wondering how you ended up here looking for information on how to connect to CatNet? As of 6/24/2024, OIT is beginning the process of migrating the campus community completely to eduroam.
If you want to learn more about the migration and the benefits of eduroam please visit our dedicated eduroam webpage (https://it.ucmerced.edu/eduroam).
UC Merced provides fast and reliable internet on campus through wired and wireless access for personal and instructional use. Internet access is available in all campus buildings (subject to the Acceptable Use Policy) and at our off-site locations.
Guest Access
WiFi Name = ‘UCM Guest’
If you are a visitor to UC Merced or do not have a UCM Net ID, you can still access our guest network during your time on campus. This SSID is unencrypted for easy access – so it is not secured and is NOT recommended for Staff, Faculty, or Students. You be asked to accept a device certificate – if you do not accept it you will not connect.

eduroam – Educational WiFi for Participating Institutions
WiFi Name = ‘eduroam’
As a participating institution, UC Merced faculty, staff, and students can connect to secure eduroam wireless at other participating U.S. and international locations while using their UC Merced email address and password.
This is a reciprocal agreement, and visitors who are eduroam subscribers from other institutions may also use their local logins on the UCM campus by selecting the ‘eduroam’ SSID in the list of available wireless networks shown on your device.
