Accessing the internet
Your student internet account
Currently enrolled UQ students have a monthly allocation of download quota to access UQ's fast wired and wireless internet. If you are under 18 you will be required to have your parent or guardian sign a form giving you permission to access Internet services at UQ.
- Check the monthly quota allocation for your user type.
- Get the Internet access permission form for under 18 year olds.
Check your remaining monthly quota
In general sites hosted by the UQ domain are unmetered whereas sites external to the UQ Domain are generally metered (they reduce your remaining quota). There are some exceptions like various academic and news websites.
On the first day of each calendar month the download quota allowance is reset back to its default value with no carry over of unused quota.
- After logging in to the Internet via https://login.uq.edu.au/, as described below, you can view your remaining monthly allocation of download quota.
- Out of download quota? You can still view UQ sites and other unmetered content.
Wired internet access
You are not automatically signed in to the Internet when you log-in to a Library or faculty workstation. If you wish to access websites external to UQ, you will need to sign in to the Internet traffic management system with your student number and password.
Your student e-mail, even when accessed through my.UQ, is considered an external website. So if you are having trouble accessing your e-mail from a Library computer - please ensure you have signed in to the Internet.
Log in to the Internet
- Open a web browser
- Search, or type a URL, for a non-UQ website
OR
- go to https://login.uq.edu.au/
You will be automatically directed to UQ Internet Traffic Management:
- Click Login to agree to the terms and conditions
