 At my university, I connect to my lab's WiFi and when I'm
out of range to my University's WiFi.  My notebook can also
see eduroam, an inter-University roaming facility.  But these
networks have different policies, in regards to firewall and
bandwidth limits.

  I want to prioritize access points to lab first, university second,
and eduroam third.

  Is there a way to do this?

You could edit your connections so that they all have "Automatically 
connect..." disabled. Then you can easily choose which AP to connect to 
based on your venue. You could also write a script using 'nmcli' to 
select APs based on your preferences.

If no one here can answer your question, you might have better luck
with the NetworkManager folks. Qubes is just an indirect user of
NetworkManager (in virtue of being a user of Fedora). We don't have
any say in or control over NetworkManager's functionality.
