All UQ staff members are automatically provided with a free Internet account, which is set up routinely through information received from Aurion.

This account provides staff with the following features:

  • UQ username and password
  • Email address
  • Disk space
  • Static private IP
  • VPN (Virtual Private Network)
  • Wireless access
  • National dial-up* (0198307170).

* Your dial-up connection has unlimited usage hours, however, it is restricted to 4 hour sessions.

From the beginning of January 2005, UQ is upgrading to a higher speed education and research network (AARNet 3). As a UQ staff member you may be required to log on to the Internet using your UQ Sign In username and password.

When you attempt to visit a website you may be redirected to the UQ Log In page. If you agree to abide by the UQ Internet Code of Practice and the UQconnect Terms and Conditions, then you should enter your username and password. You will then be redirected to the requested web page.

This new method of Internet access also provides UQ organisational units with a tool to review and manage their use of the Internet.

All UQ staff are provided with unlimited download quota.

UQ Organisational Units can request the following services:

 

  • Email and kerberos for visiting staff (required for Blackboard access).
  • Internet or email for staff who do not appear in Aurion (UQ's HR system).
  • Extra disk space
  • Extra mail quota
  • Cancel an account
  • Notify a change in organisational unit account number.
