Is eduroam safe to use?
eduroam uses the security and authentication standards of each institution, so you will be accessing wireless service that typically exceeds commercial hotspots. Be aware that when using the general Internet at an eduroam hotspot, the local site security measures at that hotspot will apply to you as well. For example, the firewall settings at the visited place may be different from those you are used to at home, and as a guest you may have access to fewer services on the Internet than you have at home.
Does eduroam require a usage fee?
eduroam is free at all partner institutions worldwide. The providers of eduroam hotspots make the service available to benefit all members of the research and education community.
What will I be able to access when logged in to eduroam at Weill Cornell?

If you are a WCMC visitor, you can log into eduroam provided you are part of a partner institution.
While off campus:
If you work for or attend Weill Cornell and are visiting a partner institution that uses eduroam, you can use your WCMC credentials to log into their eduroam wireless network.

Where can I go for support on using LMS?
Documentation on our LMS can be found on Helpfiles. For further assistance, please contact our Service Desk.
I want to register for a course, but have been denied access. Why?
Not all courses are open to everyone. This is because certain courses require authorization from a Department Administrator.
One example is training for Purchasing in Weill Business Gateway (WBG). A Department Administrator determines who in his/her office will have access to this tool and registers staff accordingly.
If you feel you should have access to a course on WTMS, you can speak with your Department Administrator, or contact the ITS Service Desk for assistance.
I would like to create course content in LMS for others to use. How can I do that?
If you would like to become a Learner Administrator, please contact its-training@med.cornell.edu for more information.
How do I register for courses?
There are three ways to register for courses depending on the course you need to take. One is to self-register. This can be done by logging into WBG and clicking the ESS tab (please review our login instructions). You can browse all course catalogs or search for a specific course.
The second way to register is for a supervisor or Department Administrator to register on your behalf. This may occur if your department determines you need access to specific applications, such as Purchasing in WBG. If this happens, you will receive notifications about how to attend training.
The third way is for a trainer/instructor to pre-register you for a course. Again, you will receive notifications from WTMS via email if this occurs.
