More information

Many UWA resources are available through any internet connection. However, it is necessary to restrict access to some resources to UWA staff and students only.

You can access these systems when not at UWA by using:

  • UniConnect VPN: The UniConnect VPN service links your computer into the UWA campus network, which is then assigned a UWA internet address as if you were on-campus.
    You can access resources which are available only to users while connected on-campus. These resources include various library services, coursework and course information and any online journals which you can normally access only from a UWA managed computer. Refer to UniConnect VPN for further information. 

  • eduroam: eduroam, or education roaming, allows staff and students from participating universities to access the local institution's wireless network access and the internet using their standard username and password just as they do at their home institution. Refer to eduroam for further information.
