Internet access

All Monash students receive a free internet quota which they can use from any part of the high speed Monash network (except the Halls of Residence) including computer labs throughout the university and the wireless network available on most parts of all campuses. This quota is provided by each student's faculty and varies depending on the course they are doing but it should be enough for their academic and reasonable personal needs. Accessing any part of the Monash website, including the Monash student email account, is free and does not count towards the quota. If they exceed their quota students may be able to purchase additional quota from their faculty. Further information can be found at IT information for students web page.

Please note that students may not have access to their faculty internet quota as soon as they arrive at Monash. This is because each faculty decides when your quota is activated and, in some cases, this may only be a few days before classes commence. In the meantime students will have access to all parts of the Monash website, including their Monash student email account, but not to any external websites, including external email accounts.

There are no public internet cafes on Monash campuses and none within easy reach of the Clayton campus. To ensure that students can access their emails during their first few days at Monash, before their internet quota is activated, they should divert their personal and home university emails to their Monash student email account. They can then log on to the student My Monash portal to receive and send their emails.
