See ResNet over the summer for details and an application form, then please visit the Help Desk, Computer Centre, Tyndall Avenue (8am-5.30pm Mon-Fri) to apply, from Tuesday 23rd June onwards.

Current students who are staying on longer than orginally planned can renew their ResNet subscription through My ResNet.

Between 6 and 9 am we expect to lose connectivity to the following residences:

  • Woodland Court
  • Northwell House
  • The Hawthorns
  • St Michaels Park
  • Osbourne Villas
  • 121 Redland Rd

We appologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and hope that the break in service will be as brief as possible.

We will be updating this blog post with progress several times per day during the phases so please check back for updates.

Phase 0 (Completed)

Starting on Monday 15th June and ending Wednesday 17th June we are upgrading one cabinet per morning in the Hawthorns.  Please consider the entire residence 'at risk' during these 3 days but we expect that users will only see a single 2 hour outage.

Phase 1 (Mon 6th July to Fri 17th July)

All other ResNet locations will be upgraded over two weeks starting Monday 6th July and ending Friday 17th July.  Again, please consider the entire residence 'at risk' during these 10 working days but we expect that users will only see a single 2 hour outage.
