What hardware you need to bring

Bring your own device (BYOD)

At UTS College, you’ll need to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). You can use devices with larger screens (tablets or laptops) around campus and connect to our WiFi. You can access learning resources, communicate and collaborate with classmates.

Make sure you bring your laptop (along with your headphones and battery pack) to campus. Please note that mobile phones, Chromebooks and tablets are not suitable to use on their own for self-study, online resources or exams. Most class materials and systems are designed for laptop use. 

Chargers and power adaptors

There are plenty of charging stations around campus. It’s a good idea to always carry chargers for your phone, camera, laptop, and any other device (including an adapter for Australian power outlets).

WiFi on campus

Use your own smart device, phone, or laptop all over the UTS College campus using the UTS College WiFi network. You can connect up-to four devices at the same time.

You’ll need a current UTS College username and password to access the network (your username is your UTS email address, which looks like this: 12345678@uts.edu.au

If you’ve forgotten your UTS College account password, you can log onto the ITDS Service Desk Portal or call them on (+61 2) 9218 7000 for help.

For your protection, web traffic over WiFi is monitored for unacceptable use, and it’s important to comply with both UTS and UTS College computer use policies:
