The Watt Building Computer Laboratory is open to all students between the hours of 7am – 7pm, Monday to Friday. When classes are being conducted in these laboratories they are closed to students not participating in the class. The hours of access for the Woolley and McMillan computer labs are restricted to the Faculty opening hours and dependent on when someone is available to open the doors.

Students may request out of hours access to the Watt Building Computer Laboratory from the Faculty Administrative Support Officer located in the Faculty Reception Office, ground floor, McMillan Building. Once an after hours authority has been organised, students will need to go to the Security Building located Cnr. Codrington & Abercrombie Streets (between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday to Friday only) with their student cards to have the building access programmed onto their students cards.

Students store files on the various Faculty servers. However, space is limited, so please do not store files unnecessarily. The storage capacity and content of our network servers is scanned on a regular basis and if any inappropriate files are noted as being stored by students, these will be deleted immediately and the relevant students notified. Inappropriate files include music, games and movie files. Students need to be aware of the code of conduct in relation to ICT at the University, specifically in relation to downloading and storing music, games or movie files on the University ICT equipment. The Faculty is committed to ensuring sufficient space is available on its network servers to ensure the smooth running of our network and that staff and students’ work is not impeded by inappropriate file storage.
