Paying to use the net at uni? (1 Viewer)

[nessie_lee]

Hey, do we have to pay to use the internet at uni.. like at the auchmuty library and stuff... coz i just stumbled across some thing on my student page with my computer usage.. and it says that i've got $7 owing already.. Do we have to pay this, and when do we have to pay it?...

Isn't this what we pay our freaking GSC for?....

must be all that porn you looked at?

tsk tsk, naughty girl.

 

[nessie_lee]

Lol, not even!! .. i'm not that type of girl!

No, you don't have to pay anything. That page is just to give you an idea of how much you're costing the uni. You're meant to be "responsible" with your net usage, but they don't particularly care.

maybe you could do pole dances and donate the proceeds to the Uni ...

... I don't have anything relevant to this, but I'm bored and don't want to do the stupid 1st yr research assignment due monday or find schools for prac, also due monday, so instead I'm just going to stay here and look like I'm working.

So, uh, how is everyone? Yeah, how about that weather? Um, something meaningful to this thread, well how about that, the internet at uni... my amount is so pitifully small I would be ashamed to post it here If you still don't know, SJ, it's just on your student page, under internet usage or internet accounts or something like that.

Login here and then click on "Internet Usage" on the left. It took me a little while to find it as well.
