Director's welcome
Welcome to Information Technology Services.
IT Services provides Information and Communications Technology infrastructure and support services to University students and staff.
The University has placed a strong focus on ICT, with the current student to computer ratio being 8:1. Along with our Information Commons, students are provided with excellent access to ICT services. In fact, the University received a five-star rating for electronic support for students by the Good Universities Guide. *
IT Services continues to increase the range and reliability of ICT services delivered to the University. The Information Commons provides more than 100 general access computers and a wireless LAN within the Library extends the network access within this very popular study area. The USC portal offers a single window to the electronic services delivered to students, its access from both on and off-campus aims to provide the flexibility needed by our diverse student population.
The ICT building is growing its support for the University's expansion in the area of online course delivery including the production of multimedia content. Meanwhile, developments within our network infrastructure have improved server performance and resilience and our monitoring systems have improved service recovery. These improvements, and others planned for the near future have allowed us to increase service flexibility and improve reliability in the University's information technology systems.
I encourage you to find out more about the extensive ICT services available to students and staff, by browsing our online information.
