Computers for student use at UC

There are a number of places around campus where you can access computers.

These include:

• The Computer Centre (Building 10)
  PCs and Macs. 24 hour access for all UC students
• The Library
  1. Research computers: PCs for research only
  2. Multi-use: PCs for students' general needs
• The Ngunnawal Centre
  For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students only

Some disciplines give their students special access to computers, for example:

• The Health Resource Centre, Room 12 C24 (Health students)
• Science Resource Centre, Room 3A36 (Applied Science students) 
• Student Resource Centre, Room 11 A33 (ISE students)
• The Education Centre, Room 5A (Education students)

Your UC student usercode and password are essential for using all university computers.

Getting help with computers

Other students are often good people to go to for help with computing.

The Computer Helpdesk in Building 10 is excellent at trouble-shooting specific problems.

Study skills advisers in the Learning Resource Centres or the Academic Skills Centre can also help to build your skills.

Getting a password and using e-mail at UC

You need a student user password. This will allow you to

• use computers anywhere at UC.
• set up a printing account
• access your e-mail account
• get information about your results through OSIS (the Online Student Information Service).

Using computers for research

For help with using computers for research (eg the Internet, the electronic databases, UC Library and other library catalogues) look at the UC Library Research Gateway pages.
