Yes. If you are asked to authenticate yourself (you are prompted to type in your student login and password), you will be charged for internet traffic whether it is using a chat program such as MSN Messenger, downloading files or surfing the web.

Note: The only exception is your University Email account which is via Microsoft Exchange Labs (Live@EDU). Although you are prompted to enter your student login/password credentials, you are not charged for this internet traffic.

Detailed information and charges are available on the Internet Access page.
