The UWA campus network extends throughout most University buildings. Appropriately configured computers connected to most parts of the network can get direct access to the Internet. The networks within Department areas are controlled by the Departments. This may include physical access for students for internet access as well as word processing and course work. Some sections, particularly in student areas have access to the Internet restricted.
Departments also control network access in lecture theatres .
UCS provides several World Wide Web Proxy Caches to support and manage Internet access from the campus network, the colleges and the dialin services. Details of the extent of the UWA network to Departments and configuration information may be found in the Network section of these pages. UWA staff may obtain internet access through their departments. The departments may operate their own internet access servers or make use of UCS servers. Staff requiring internet access should first contact their departmental computing support staff who will advise them on their department's procedures.
