Staff Laptops

  1. Connection to the UWA network (and the Internet) for laptops owned and managed by the University is arranged by the relevant local IT support staff.

  2. If you want to connect your personal laptop to the network within your section of the University, or require access to anything such as your section's shared drives, ask your local IT Support whether this can be done and if so, how it can be achieved.

  3. Wired and wireless access to the broader UWA network is provided for mobile devices through the central SNAP Wired and Wireless system. This provides a basic connection to the UWA network, giving access to the Internet, to UWA Intranet sites and restricted Library journals.
