Free internet for students in 2011

From 10 December, students will have free access to the internet through the University’s wired and wireless networks.

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) will remove all charging for internet access, thus providing free internet access for all students. Internet usage will be monitored and is subject to the terms and conditions of the ICT Resources policy, which is signed when students first log into the MyUni student portal.

Students will need to use their UniKey to access the internet from computer labs and will still need to install the CISCO virtual private network (VPN) client to connect their laptops to the University wireless network.
