About the Internet traffic and quota system

The University manages Internet access for students by means of the Student Internet Quota system. This Quota has three components:

General Quota

Allocated once only to each student upon enrolment
Intended to cover the cost of communicating with the University and carrying out administrative tasks prior to the availability of Academic Quota (see below).

Academic Quota

Allocated to each student weekly (or on a schedule determined by the school)
Intended to cover course-related Internet access costs
Based on Student Load and uses a formula based on the number of units a student is enrolled in, the number of credit points of each unit enrolled, and a per point quota rate applied to each unit.

Student Purchased Quota

Required for Internet use over and above the general and academic quota allocation

NOTE: Currently the policy is NO REFUNDS of student purchased quota.

Students will find that from the beginning of each Semester, their Quota account will automatically be credited by their Division. The General Quota will be allocated as a lump sum at the start of the Semester, whilst the Academic Quota will be provided incrementally over the duration of each Unit enrolled. Distribution of the Quota will be carried out weekly (in advance) in equal increments.

Once this quota allocation has been exhausted, students will need to purchase Quota for Internet usage and to extend modem connection time. To do this, the University Student Card is used to transfer money (credit) into the Internet Traffic and Modem Time Quota System using a Monitor card reader located in the Murdoch and Rockingham Campus Libraries. Students unable to visit the campuses should contact the iT Service Desk for alternative arrangements.
NOTE: Students may now pay for internet quota at the cashier at South Street, Rockingham and Peel campuses.

Availability

Only available to enrolled Murdoch University students.
Only currently enrolled students will be able to transfer money into the system.
Anyone using other than a valid University student card will risk losing their money.
