Managing Your Quota

A quota system is in place to allow the efficient management of internet usage.

Quota for Current Students is set at 2GB of off-net traffic with unlimited on-net traffic. 

Note: No quota is imposed for Postgraduate research students.

Internet Quota is granted on a six monthly allocation at the beginning of each year and is reset midyear.

To assist you with managing quota usage, notification via email will be sent automatically when 25% and 50% of quota is exhausted.

A warning will be generated at 75% of quota, advising you to seek permission for an increase if required.  Requests are then sent to your faculty for consideration.

Note:  Student quotas will only be extended if the quota has been exhausted due to use for educational purposes.

A student’s past download history will be accessed and considered before a decision is made regarding the application. 

You can find more information within the IT Policies page
